Attention: Do not remove a hot-plug adapter before performing the
48
Hardware Maintenance Manual: Netfinity 7100 – Type 8666
operating-system-defined procedure for disabling the hot-plug PCI slot
that contains the adapter. Failure to do so might cause the system to
lock up. Refer to the operating system documentation.
1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 43.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all power cords;
then, remove the top cover.
3. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
4. Remove the expansion-slot cover:
a. Refer to the illustration in this section for operation of the adapter
retention latch on the end of the slot near the rear of the server.
b. Rotate the adapter retention latch counterclockwise.
c. Lift the tab covering the top of the expansion-slot cover and remove the
expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for future use.
d. Press on the rear latch and lift the rear retainer clip.
Attention: You must install expansion-slot covers on all empty slots. This
maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and
ensures proper cooling of system components.
5. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install
the adapter. Refer to "Cabling example for the ServeRAID adapter" on page 49
for information about cable routing for the optional ServeRAID adapter.
