and 3, and PCI-X expansion slots 4 through 6 to assign system resources. Then,
the server starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed
the default startup sequence: PCI Express x16 expansion slot 1; system-board
integrated drive electronics (IDE), Serial ATA (SATA), or SCSI devices (including
the optional ServeRAID 6i+ adapter); and then PCI-X expansion slots 4 through

support/.
1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143, and the "Installation
guidelines" on page 25.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices; then, disconnect all external cables
and power cords.
3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28).
4. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the
adapter cables before you install the adapter.
5. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if
any.
6. Remove the frame-support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support
bracket" on page 32).
7. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the server. Rotate the front adapter-support bracket to the open
position. If you are installing a smaller adapter, remove only the rear
adapter-retention bracket.
8. 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.
Notes:
a. If you are installing an adapter into slot 3, move the expansion-slot cover
with the SCSI knockout to a vacant adapter slot.
b. 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.
9. 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.
