Installing the 2-node scalability card

Use this information to install the 2-node scalability card on a blade server.

1. Before you begin, read Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Stand the blade servers upright on a clean, flat work surface, with the scalability connector on the blade servers facing up.
3. Release the lower handles (rotate the lower handles down) to allow the blade servers to sit flat on the work surface.
   
   
   
4. Align the pins on the bottom of the IBM 2-node scalability card with the holes on the scalability connector on the blade server.
5. Press down firmly so that the 2-node scalability card is flush with the scalability connector on the blade server.
   
   
   
6. Make sure that the 2-node scalability card is flush with the edge of the blade server.
7. Alternately tighten the screws on the 2-node scalability card by hand to ensure that the screw threads start properly.
   Important: Always hand tighten each screw before you use the 3/16" hex driver.
8. Alternately tighten each screw on the 2-node scalability card using the 3/16" hex driver. Alternate the tightening of each screw until both screws are tightened.
   Note: If you are using a torque driver, the correct torque is 15 in-lb.
