Install an Advanced Mezzanine Card

An AMC is a card or module that provides additional functionality to the blade server. The blade server contains one AMC slot in which you can install an optional AMC device. An AMC device can be installed and removed through a cutout in the front panel while the blade server is installed in the chassis.


Note - The following procedure provides a general set of instructions for installing an AMC on the blade server. Refer to the AMC manufacturer’s documentation for specific instructions on installing these devices.


  1. Take antistatic precautions.

    See Safety Requirements.

  2. Remove the AMC slot filler panel from the blade server’s front panel, as shown in the following figure.


    Graphic showing how to remove the AMC filler panel.
  3. Retrieve the AMC from its shipping kit, and place it on an antistatic surface.


    Caution

    Caution - Do not use excessive force when installing the AMC into the slot. You might damage the AMC connector on the blade server, causing permanent damage to the AMC or the blade server. If the AMC does not seat properly when you apply even pressure, remove the AMC and carefully reinstall it.


  4. Insert the AMC through the cutout and into the AMC slot as shown in the following figure.
