with the expansion slot on the system board.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector. Incomplete
insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter.
c. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
d. Lower the adapter-retention latch over the top corner of the adapter. The
adapter-retention latch automatically locks into place.
Important: Power cannot be restored to the adapter slot if the latch is not
lowered into place.

adapter-support bracket. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
Attention: When you route the cables, do not block the ventilated space
around any of the fans.
13. Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
14. Enable the hot-plug PCI-X slot from your operating system. When the hot-plug
PCI-X slot is enabled, the power LED for that hot-plug PCI-X slot comes on.
See the documentation that comes with your operating system for information
about enabling a hot-plug PCI-X slot.
