- Before you begin, read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- Stand the blade server upright on a clean, flat work surface, with the scalability filler connector facing up.
- Open the lower handle (rotate the lower handles down) to allow the blade server to sit flat on the work surface.
- Remove the scalability filler from the blade server or 2-node scalability card (see Installing the 2-node scalability card). To remove the scalability filler, complete the following steps:
- Using the 3/16" hex driver that is provided with the 1-node speed burst card, loosen the nut that attaches the filler to the blade server.
- Lift the filler off the blade server.
- Align the pins on the bottom of the 1-node speed burst card with the holes on the scalability connector on the blade server.
- Press down firmly so that the 1-node speed burst card is flush with the scalability connector on the blade server.
- Tighten the screw on the filler by hand to ensure that the screw threads start properly.ImportantAlways hand tighten the screw before using the 3/16" hex driver.
- Using the 3/16" hex driver, tighten the nut that attaches the 1-node speed burst card to the blade server.NoteIf you are using a torque driver, the correct torque is 15 in-lb.
