Upgrading Your Server 9-19
Mezzanine Card
The CPU blade can contain two mezzanine cards which allow network or file storage extension. To
install a mezzanine card, use the mezzanine card slot on the CPU blade. The mezzanine card slot is
factory-installed on the CPU blade.
IMPORTANT:
 The mezzanine card is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make
sure to touch the metal frame of the server to discharge static
electricity from your body before handling the mezzanine card. Do
not touch the components on the mezzanine card with your bare
hands or place the card directly on a desk. For static notes, see the
section "Anti-static Measures" described earlier.
 A combination of boards can be installed in the Blade Enclosure
with certain restrictions. Contact your service representative for
details.
NOTE: Some optional mezzanine cards use expansion ROM’s. Refer
to the manual provided with the card to check whether the expansion
ROM should be emnabled. Use the BIOS Setup utility to configure the
card. See Chapter 4 for details.
