Attention: When you install an adapter, make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the
riser-card assembly and that the riser-card assembly is securely seated in the riser-card connector
on the system board before you turn on the server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause
damage to the system board, the riser-card assembly, or the adapter.

Note: You might need to remove the blue latch from PCI riser-card assembly 2 to easily connect
the cables.
