Installing mezzanine card options

Mezzanine options are classified as Type C and Type D mezzanine cards. The type of mezzanine card determines where the card can be installed in the compute module. Some mezzanine cards require an interconnect module to be installed in the associated ICM bay in the rear of the frame. The location of the mezzanine card determines the location of the interconnect modules.

Be sure to review the mezzanine card-mapping information in the HPE Synergy Configuration and Compatibility Guide at https://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-configuration-compatibility-en.

For more information about the association between the mezzanine bay and the interconnect bays, see the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup and Installation Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (https://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-12000-frame-docs).

Procedure
  1. Power down the compute module.
  2. Remove the compute module.
  3. Place the compute module on a flat, level work surface.
  4. Remove the access panel.
  5. Locate the appropriate mezzanine connector.

    To locate the connector, see System board components.

  6. If installed, remove the mezzanine connector cover.
  7. Install the mezzanine card.

    Press firmly on the PRESS HERE label above the mezzanine connector to seat the card.

    When a GPU mezzanine adapter is installed in the compute module, an additional mounting bracket is required.
