Installing the IBM MAX5 1-node Scalability card
Use this information to install the IBM MAX5 1-node scalability card on a blade
server.
To install the IBM MAX5 1-node scalability card, complete the following steps.
1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 23.
2. Remove the 1-node Speed Burst card (see “Installing the 1-node speed burst
card” on page 56) or scalability filler from the blade server, depending on
which you have installed. To remove the scalability filler, complete the
following steps:
a. Using the socket nut driver provided with the scalability kit, loosen the
nut that attaches the filler to the blade server.
b. Lift the filler off of the blade server.
3. Install the IBM MAX5 expansion blade (see “Installing an IBM MAX5” on
page 62).
4. Remove the cover for the expansion blade (see “Removing the blade server
cover” on page 25 for instructions).
5. Stand the blade server and expansion blade upright on a clean, flat work
surface, with the scalability connector on the blade servers facing up.
6. Open the lower handles (rotate the lower handles down) to allow the blade
server and expansion blade to sit flat on the work surface.
7. Align the pins on the bottom of the IBM MAX5 1-node scalability card with
the holes on the scalability connector on the blade server.
8. Press down firmly so that the 1-node scalability card is flush with the
scalability connector on the blade server.
