12. Install the adapter:
a. Carefully grasp the adapter 3 by its top edge or upper corners, and align
it with the expansion slot on the I/O board.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the connector. Incomplete insertion
might cause damage to server components or the adapter.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
c. If you are installing a full-length adapter, close the adapter retention
cover 4 .
d. Lower the tab 1 over the adapter. Rotate the adapter retention latch 2
until it snaps in place (the locked position).
13. If you have not already done so, connect any cables to the adapter.
14. If the adapter is a hot-plug adapter, enable the PCI slot from your operating
system. Make sure that the Power On light for the PCI slot is on.
Attention: If the installed adapter is not supported by the hot-plug capability of
your operating system, shut down and restart the server.
15. If you have other options to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing
the installation" on page 35.
