Installing an SSD expansion card

Use this information to install an SSD expansion card.

To install an SSD expansion card, complete the following steps:

  1. Before you begin, read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If a CFFh expansion card is installed, remove it (see Removing a CFFh expansion card for instructions).
  3. Insert the back of the SSD expansion card into the expansion-card standoffs on the blade server and rotate the expansion card down toward the system board.
    Note
    The expansion card standoff in the middle of the blade server has two slots. The top slot is for the CFFh expansion card. Be sure to insert the SSD expansion card into the bottom slot of the expansion-card standoff that is located in the middle of the blade server.
  4. Carefully push down on the SSD expansion card (pressing on the blue label) until the expansion card is seated.
    Note
    Make sure that the expansion card lever is in the closed position.
