Replacing an mLOM Card
The server can use a modular LOM (mLOM) card to provide additional rear-panel connectivity. The
mLOM card socket remains powered when the server is in 12 V standby power mode and it supports the
network communications services interface (NCSI) protocol.
Step 1 Remove any existing mLOM card (or a blanking panel):
a. Power off the server as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server, page 3-7.
b. Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might
have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
c. Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover, page 3-8.
Step 2 See the location of the mLOM socket in Figure 3-28. You might have to remove PCIe riser 1 and the
Cisco modular RAID controller riser to provide clearance.
• If there is no card in PCIe riser 1 or the RAID card riser, you can access the mLOM socket. Continue
with Step 3.
• If there is a card in PCIe riser 1 or the RAID card riser, remove those risers to provide clearance.
See Replacing a PCIe Riser Assembly, page 3-36 and Replacing a Cisco Modular RAID Controller
Card, page 3-29 for instructions.
Step 3 Loosen the single thumbscrew that secures the mLOM card to the chassis floor and then slide the mLOM
card horizontally to disengage its connector from the motherboard socket.
Step 4 Install a new mLOM card:
a. Set the mLOM card on the chassis floor so that its connector is aligned with the motherboard socket
and its thumbscrew is aligned with the standoff on the chassis floor.
b. Push the card’s connector into the motherboard socket horizontally.
c. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the card to the chassis floor.
Step 5 If you removed PCIe riser 1 or the RAID card riser, return them to the server. See Replacing a PCIe Riser
Assembly, page 3-36 or Replacing a Cisco Modular RAID Controller Card, page 3-29 for instructions.
Step 6 Replace the top cover.
Step 7 Replace the server in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the server by pressing the Power button.
