To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines"
on page 18.
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 21.
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. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the server.
6. Remove the screw that secures the expansion-slot cover to the chassis. Store
the expansion-slot cover and screw 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.
