Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
a. If necessary, remove the adapter support bracket retaining clip.
b. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the expansion slot on the system board.
c. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector before you
apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board
or the adapter.
d. Replace the retaining clip on the adapter support bracket, if you removed it.
e. Align the bottom tabs of the adapter retention bracket with the holes at the top
of the expansion slots, and press the adapter retention bracket toward the
back of the server until it clicks into the locked position.
Attention: Route cables so that the flow of air from the fans is not blocked. In
addition, route any cables plugged into the PCI adapter under adjacent adapters
so they are not pinched between the top of the adapter and the top cover.
The following illustration shows the rerouting of the SCSI cable if you install a
ServeRAID adapter (remove the cable from SCSI connector A (J24) on the
system board and connect it to the ServeRAID adapter).
