Installing the 1-node speed burst card

Use this information to install a 1-node speed burst card in a blade server.

To install a 1-node speed burst card, complete the following steps:

1. Before you begin, read Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Stand the blade server upright on a clean, flat work surface, with the scalability filler connector facing up.
3. Open the lower handle (rotate the lower handles down) to allow the blade server to sit flat on the work surface.
4. 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:
   1. 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.
   2. Lift the filler off the blade server.
5. Align the pins on the bottom of the 1-node speed burst card with the holes on the scalability connector on the blade server.
6. Press down firmly so that the 1-node speed burst card is flush with the scalability connector on the blade server.
7. Tighten the screw on the filler by hand to ensure that the screw threads start properly.
   Important

   Always hand tighten the screw before using the 3/16" hex driver.
8. Using the 3/16" hex driver, tighten the nut that attaches the 1-node speed burst card to the blade server.
   Note

   If you are using a torque driver, the correct torque is 15 in-lb.
