Removing A Mezzanine Card

  • CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
  1. Remove the blade from the sleeve.
  2. Rotate the mezzanine card retention latch to unlock the mezzanine card.
    • NOTE: Hold the mezzanine card by its edges only.
  3. Lift the mezzanine card up and away from the blade system board.
  4. If you are permanently removing the mezzanine card, you must install a mezzanine blank over the vacant mezzanine card slot. To install a mezzanine blank:
    1. Place the mezzanine blank on the mezzanine card connector. When properly seated, the tabs underneath the mezzanine blank cover all corners of the mezzanine card connector and the tab on the side of the mezzanine blank rests over the slot on the chassis wall.
    2. Rotate the mezzanine card retention latch over the mezzanine blank to secure it in position.
  5. Install the blade in the sleeve.
