set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer, if
necessary.

10. To install the adapter, carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper
corners, and align it with the PCI-X expansion slot; then, press the adapter
firmly into the expansion slot.
Note: When you install the adapter in PCI-X slot 2, you must slide the adapter
underneath the system fan to properly align the adapter with the
expansion-slot connector. Do not remove the system fan from the
server.

removed the adapter-support bracket, reinstall it now. Make sure the riser card
is fully seated into the riser card connector on the system board.
