Before you begin
Remove the PCIe card.
About this task
For Session Manager, the PCIe card is the SM100 Security Module. It must be installed in PCI slot 2.
CAUTIONWhen you install a PCIe card, make sure that the card is correctly seated in the riser-card assembly and that the riser-card assembly is securely seated in the riser-card connector on the system board before you turn on the server. An incorrectly seated PCIe card might cause damage to the system board, the riser-card assembly, or the PCIe card.
Important Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server. For more information, see Protecting against ESD damage.
Procedure
- Connect any required cables to the PCIe card. Follow the cabling instructions that came with the PCIe card. Route the card cables before you install the card.
- Insert the PCIe card into the riser-card assembly, aligning the edge connector on the card with the connector on the riser-card assembly. Press the edge of the connector firmly into the riser-card assembly. Make sure that the PCIe card snaps into the riser-card assembly securely. See the following figure.
