2.3.8 Installing Optional AMC
An Advanced Mezzanine card (AMC) is a card or module that provides additional
functionality to the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server. The blade server contains one
AMC slot in which you can install an optional AMC device. An AMC device can be
installed and removed via a cutout in the front panel while the Sun Netra CP3250
blade server is installed in the chassis.
Note – The following procedure provides a general set of instructions for installing
an AMC on the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server. Refer to the AMC manufacturer’s
documentation for specific instructions on installing these devices.
1. Retrieve the wrist strap from the shipping kit.
2. Attach the adhesive copper strip of the antistatic wrist strap to the metal
chassis.
Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive side against your
skin.
3. Remove the AMC slot filler panel from the blade server’s front panel
(
