HP IBRIX X9730 Performance Module Installation Instructions (QZ730-96001, June 2012)

Installing the server blades (X9730 PN)
CAUTION: When handling system
components, there is a danger that equipment
may be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Use proper anti-static protection at all
times:
• Keep the replacement component in the
ESD bag until needed.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an
unpainted surface of the enclosure.
• Touch an unpainted surface of the
enclosure before handling the component.
• Never touch the connector pins.
The X9730 PN server blades must be installed in pairs;
you cannot install a single server blade. (When you
purchase the X9730 Performance Module, you receive
two X9730 PN server blades.) For example, server
blades 1 and 2 should be installed together; server
blades 3 and 4 should be installed together, and so
on. See Figure 10 (page 7) for the server blade
numbering scheme. Determine where you will be
installing the new X9730 PN server blades.
