power support when no microprocessor and memory expansion tray is installed.
To install the optional power interposer card assembly, complete the following

1. Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 33.
2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 21) and all attached

cables from the server.
3. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the server top cover” on page 36).
4. Align the power connectors on the power interposer card so that they are
aligned with the power interposer card connectors on the system board; then,
