Install the system I/O board

Follow instructions in this section to install the system I/O board, also known as Datacenter Secure Control Module (DC-SCM).

About this task

Attention
  • Read Installation Guidelines and Safety inspection checklist to ensure that you work safely.
  • Touch the static-protective package that contains the component to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove it from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
  • Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
Firmware and driver download: You might need to update the firmware or driver after replacing a component.

Procedure
