Chapter 1. Introduction
This Installation Instructions document contains information for installing and
configuring the Intel
™
Gigabit Ethernet Expansion Card in an IBM
®
Eserver
BladeCenter
™
HS40 Type 8839 blade server.
The Intel Gigabit Ethernet Expansion Card has a dual-channel integrated
Gigabit Ethernet controller capable of connecting to either 10/100/1000-Mbps
networks through an Ethernet switch module or 1000 Mbps through other
supported I/O modules, on the BladeCenter unit. Communication signals are
routed from the blade server through the I/O expansion connectors on the

Chapter 2. Installing the I/O expansion card
This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing the I/O expansion
card in your blade server.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing the I/O expansion card in your blade server, read
the safety information beginning on page v and the guidelines in “Handling
static-sensitive devices.” This information will help you work safely with your
blade server and options.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your
blade server. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their
static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
v When working on the BladeCenter T unit, use an electrostatic discharge
(ESD) wrist strap especially when you will be handling modules, options,
and blades. To work properly, the wrist strap must have a good contact at
both ends (touching your skin at one end and firmly connected to the ESD
connector on the front or back of the BladeCenter T unit).
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up
around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to any
unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal
surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack you are installing
the device in for at least 2 seconds. (This drains static electricity from the
package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade
server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the
device, place it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the
device on your blade server cover or on a metal surface.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing the I/O expansion card on a blade server
Important: Installation of an I/O expansion card requires removal of the IDE
drive (hard disk drive or flash drive) that is installed in IDE
connector 2. The I/O expansion card occupies the same space as
this IDE drive and replaces it. You cannot install an IDE drive in
IDE connector 2 while an I/O expansion card is installed in the
blade server.
v If the IDE drive installed in IDE connector 2 contains any
information that you want to keep, back it up to another storage
device.
v If the IDE hard disk drive installed in IDE connector 2 is part of
a RAID array, delete this IDE RAID array configuration before
removing the hard disk drive. When you delete the RAID array,
the array configuration information is removed; no data is
deleted. See the blade server Installation and User’s Guide for
instructions.
Note:
The illustrations used in this procedure depict the installation process on
a BladeCenter HS40 blade server in a BladeCenter Type 8677 unit. These
illustrations might differ slightly from your hardware.
Complete the following steps to install the I/O expansion card in a blade
server:
1. Make sure that you are using the latest versions of device drivers,
firmware, and BIOS for your blade server and management module. Go to
the IBM Support Web site, http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ for the
latest information about upgrading the device drivers, firmware, and BIOS
for BladeCenter components. The latest instructions are in the
documentation that come with the updates.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, references to the BladeCenter unit also
apply to the BladeCenter T unit.
2. Read the safety information beginning on page v and the “Installation
guidelines” on page 7.
3. Make sure that IBM BladeCenter I/O modules that support your I/O
expansion card are installed in I/O-module bays 3 and 4 in the
BladeCenter unit. See the documentation that came with the I/O module
for instructions.
