Mezzanine card option
Optional mezzanine cards are classified as Type I mezzanine cards and Type II mezzanine cards. The card
type determines where it can be installed in the server blade.
• Install Type I mezzanine cards on either mezzanine 1 connector or mezzanine 2 connector.
• Install Type II mezzanine cards only on mezzanine 2 connector.
Optional mezzanine cards enable network connectivity or provide Fibre Channel support. For mezzanine
card locations, see the system board components (on page 8).
For mezzanine card mapping, see the HP ProLiant BL280c G6 Server Blade Installation Instructions or see
"Interconnect bay numbering and device mapping (on page 16)."
Because mezzanine cards are supported on multiple server blade models, the mezzanine card may have
captive screws that are not required to secure it to the server blade. When installing a mezzanine card in this
server blade, only two captive screws are required.
