Follow instructions in this section to install the PCIe switch shuttle. The procedure must be executed by a trained technician.

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.
  • Anti-static gloves are recommended as a precaution while connecting cables to the PCIe switch board.

Procedure

  1. Fully open the two release levers; then, align the PCIe switch shuttle with the opening in the front of the chassis, and slide it into the chassis until it snaps into place.

  2. Reconnect all the cables to the PCIe switch shuttle, and tie them back to the crossbar. See 2.5-inch drive backplane cable routing and PCIe switch board cable routing for more information.
  3. If necessary, attach the labels to both ends of the cable.
    1. Attach the white space portion of the label to one end of the cable.
    2. Wrap the label around the cable and attach it to the white space portion.
