Installing an adapter

The following tips describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you
must consider when you install an adapter:
• To confirm that the server supports the adapter that you are installing, go to:
http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this topic.
• To ensure that any of your adapters function properly on UEFI-based servers, make sure that the adapter
firmware and supporting device drivers are updated to the latest version.
• The adapter slots are on the PCI riser-card assembly. You must first remove the PCI riser-card assembly
to access the adapter slots 1 and 2.
