Install a Card Carrier Into the Server
3.
Install the carrier and I/O card into the CMIOU slot.
a.
Push evenly on both sides of the carrier so that the carrier slides straight
into the slot (panel 1).
If the carrier slides correctly into the slot, you should feel a slight resistance as the carrier
starts to seat in the connector.
Caution - Do not push the extraction lever while you insert the carrier into the slot. The carrier
can enter at an angle and damage the connectors.
b.
Lock the carrier’s extraction lever (panel 2).
4.
Attach I/O cables to the card.
Note - Refer to the SPARC M8 and SPARC M7 Servers Installation Guide for instructions on
managing and routing the PCIe card cables.
5.
Press the ATTN button on the carrier to reconfigure the PCIe card into the
PDomain.
The carrier’s LEDs should blink for a few seconds until the PDomain enables the PCIe card.
The card’s LEDs will show activity when the card is enabled.
6.
Verify the card's installation.
See “Verify the PCIe Card” on page 164.
