Use this information to install the EIOM.

Before you install the EIOM:
  1. Read the following section(s) to ensure that you work safely.

  2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables (see Power off the compute node).

  3. Disengage all the compute nodes from the enclosure.

  4. If the cable management arm is installed, remove it (see Remove the cable management arm).

  5. Remove the shuttle (see Remove the shuttle) and place it on the stable work surface.

Note
The minimum networking speed requirement for the EIOM is 1Gbps.

Complete the following steps to install the EIOM.

  1. Grasp the EIOM and align the four EIOM tabs with the slots in the shuttle; then, lower the EIOM into the slots.

  4. Turn the thumbscrews clockwise.

After you install the EIOM, complete the following steps:

  1. Reinstall the shuttle (see Install the shuttle).

  2. If the cable management arm is removed, install it (see Install the cable management arm).

  3. Reconnect the power cords and any cables that you removed.

  4. Push all compute nodes back into the enclosure (see Install a compute node in the enclosure).

  5. Turn on all compute nodes.
