Installing/Removing the InfiniBand Module
Before installing the InfiniBand module make sure the cover to the module has been
installed before proceeding. Refer to the anti-static precautions described in Chapter 2.
The InifiniBand module must be installed into a double-wide bay. Assuming that you
have already created a double-wide bay out of two single-wide bays, continue with the
steps below. See the SuperBlade User’s Manual for details on setting up double-wide
bays in the SuperBlade enclosure.
Installing the Module
1. Remove the dummy cover from the bay you want to place the module in.
2. Place the module's release handle in the open position.
3. Slide the module into the module bay until it stops.
4. Push the release handle to the closed position.
After the module has been installed and the handle locked, it will power on after a short
delay and a POST test will run to verify it is working properly.
Removing the Module
1. Pull out the release handle to the open position.
2. Pull the module out of the bay.
3. Replace immediately with another module or with a dummy module cover to
maintain airflow integrity.

instructions below for installing either the pass-through module or the InfiniBand
module.
