6. Remove the PCI expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the server, press in on the
slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the slot. Store it in a safe place for future use.
Attention: PCI expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions characteristics of the server and ensures
proper cooling of server components.
7. Touch the static-protective package containing the adapter to any unpainted metal
surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the static-protective
package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
8. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
9. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.
10. To install the adapter, carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners,
and align it with the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the
PCI expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is completely
and correctly seated in the PCI expansion slot before you turn on the server.
Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter.
11. Connect required cables to the adapter.
Attention: Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans.
12. If you have another adapter to install, do so now.
13. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter support bracket
to the closed (locked) position.
14. Reinstall the rear adapter retaining bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the closed
(locked) position.
15. If you have other options to install, do so now.
16. Reinstall the side cover (see "Installing the cover" on page 50 for details).
