1. Review the safety precautions listed in Statement 1 and Statement 5 in "Safety
information" on page 70.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover. See "Removing the cover, door, and bezel"
on page 76 for details.
3. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements
or restrictions.
4. Remove the expansion-slot cover:
a. Press the arrow on the adapter-retention bracket release tab and remove the
bracket.
b. Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the server. Store it in a safe place for
future use.
To change the boot precedence for PCI devices, start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, and select Start Options from the
main menu. See "Chapter 3. Configuring your server," on page 13 for
details on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
