3. Slide the orange adapter-retention tab toward the rear of the server and lift the
adapter-retention latch. The power LED turns off for the appropriate slot.
4. Slide the expansion-slot cover up and out of the server; then move the blue PCI-
adapter locking lever to the right (as viewed from the front) to enable insertion of
the new adapter.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter. Ensure that the adapter is completely and correctly seated in the slot.
Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter.
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD),
take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling
these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 52.
5. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package and install the adapter,
pressing it firmly into the slot.
6. Move the blue PCI-adapter locking lever to the left (as viewed from the front) to
secure the adapter; then, lower the adapter-retention latch over the top corner of
the adapter. The orange adapter-retention tab snaps into place and the power
LED turns on for the slot.
