xSeries 206 Type 8482: Installation Guide
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 13.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover"
on page 15.
3. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the
adapter cables before you install the adapter.
4. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if
any.
5. Remove the frame-support bracket. See "Removing and installing the support
bracket" on page 17.
6. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the server. Rotate the front adapter-retention bracket to the
open position. If you are installing a smaller adapter, remove only the rear
adapter-retention bracket.
7. Remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the server, press on the
slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place
for future use.
Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures
proper ventilation of server components.
8. Touch the static-protective package containing the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the
static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge
connectors on the adapter.
9. Carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the expansion-slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion
slot. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the
expansion slot.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion
slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might
damage the system board or the adapter.
