10.4 Installing a Link Card
This section describes the procedure for installing the link card.
Caution - Before you handle any components, wear a wrist strap to ground any static electricity. If you perform this procedure without a wrist strap, individual components or the overall system may be damaged. For details, see "1.4 Notes Regarding Static Electricity."
  1. If you use PCI hot plug (PHP) to maintain the link card, pull all the PCIe cassettes containing PCIe cards out of the PCI expansion unit.
    a. Raise the lever of the PCIe card cassette while pushing the latch. For details, see Figure 8-3.

    b. Hold the lever and carefully pull the PCIe card cassette out of the PCIe slot.
  2. Installing the link card in a PCIe cassette.
    The procedure for installing a link card in a PCIe cassette is the same as that for installing a PCIe card of each server.
    For details on the procedure, see "Installing a PCI Express Card" in the Service Manual for your server.
  3. Connect the link cable and the management cable to the link card.
  4. Install the PCIe cassette containing the link card in the server.
    The installation procedure is the same as that for a PCIe cassette of each server.
    For details on the procedure for the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S, see "12.4.1 Installing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual.
    For details on the procedure for the SPARC M10-1, see "8.4.2 Installing a PCIe riser" in the Fujitsu M10-1/SPARC M10-1 Service Manual.
    For details on the procedure for the SPARC M10-4/M10-4S, see "8.5.3 Installing a PCI Express card cassette" in the Fujitsu M10-4/Fujitsu M10-4S/SPARC M10-4/SPARC M10-4S Service Manual.
Now, the work for mounting the FRU is complete. See "Chapter 7 Maintenance Flow" to continue maintenance work.
