I/O Card Installation Overview
Safety
Considerations
WARNING The installation procedures in this guide require opening the system cabinet,
which may expose you to high-energy (high-amperage) circuits, possible
ejection of molten metal, and exposed sharp edges in equipment chassis. Be
sure to remove all rings, watches, and other jewelry from fingers, wrists, and
arms before opening the system cabinet.
Electrostatic
Discharge
Precautions
Electrostatic discharge can damage the integrated circuits on printed-circuit boards.
To prevent such damage from occurring, be sure to observe the following
precautions when handling and installing boards:
1. Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap, such as those included in the
ESD Field Service Kit (HP P/N A3024-80004).
2. Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic
charge is discharged from you body to ground.
3. Keep uninstalled printed-circuit boards in their protective anti-static bags until
you are ready to install them.
4. Handle printed-circuit boards by their edges after you have removed them from
their protective anti-static bags.

Cover D Class servers that have the Hot-Swap Module installed will have an EMI cover
installed over the processor/memory card. To remove the EMI cover:
1. Loosen the two notches at the bottom of the EMI cover from the tabs on the
processor/memory card by pushing up and slightly flexing the EMI cover until
the notches come loose.
2. Pull the EMI cover down slightly until the two notches at the top of the cover
come loose from the tabs at the top of the server cabinet.

2. Pull the retainer bracket out of the server.
F. Remove the I/O
Slot Cover Plate 1. Loosen and remove the single screw that secures the I/O slot cover plate to the
bulkhead.
2. Remove the I/O slot cover plate.
G. Set I/O Card
Configuration Set the configuration for your I/O card, such as jumper and switch settings,
according to the instructions provided with your I/O card.
CAUTION Some I/O configurations can compete for bus usage with the 802.3 LAN port
integrated on the system /core I/O board of the D Class servers. This results in
possible performance degradation due to an increase in Cyclic Redundancy Check
events and LAN retries.
It is recommended that customers use an 802.3 LAN I/O card as the primary LAN
interface on Dx70 and Dx80 models with sustained high
I/O activity.
