Installing an UCS X-Fabric Module Blank
Use this procedure to install an UCS X-Fabric Module Blank in the bottom two slots in the chassis rear. These
module blanks must be deployed in pairs and must be installed. You cannot operate the server chassis with
empty IOM bays.
Step 1 Placing one hand underneath the blank, align it with the empty slot at the bottom of the rear of the chassis.
Step 2 Holding the blank level, slide it almost all the way into the chassis until you feel some resistance.
This resistance is normal. It occurs when the connectors at the rear of the blank contact the socket inside the chassis.
Step 3 Grasp each of the module handles, and keeping them level, arc them inward toward the chassis.
