Installing a mLOM Adapter
The Cisco VIC 1240 is a specialized modular Lan on Motherboard (mLOM) adapter that provides dual 2 x 10 Gb of Ethernet/ or
Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity to each chassis. It plugs into the dedicated mLOM connector only. It is currently
the only card that can be plugged into the mLOM connector and it will provide connectivity through either a 2100 series or 2200
series IOM.
You must remove the adapter card to service the mLOM.Note
To install an mLOM on the blade server, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Position the mLOM’s board connector above the motherboard connector and align the captive screw to the standoff post
on the motherboard.
Step 2
Firmly press the mLOM’s board connector into the motherboard connector.
Step 3
Tighten the captive screw.
To remove an mLOM, reverse the above procedure. You might find it helpful when removing the connector from
the motherboard to gently rock the board along the length of the connector until it loosens.
