Installing an adapter
Use this information to install an adapter.
The following notes 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, see http://www.lenovo.com/
serverproven/.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this section.
• Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz for an LCD monitor.
This is the highest resolution that is supported for any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
• Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
• The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters so that you can install PCI
adapters that do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on
might cause the server to stop, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem,
always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the
server with the power on.
Read the safety information in "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 29.
If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to turn off the server and peripheral devices,
and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
Read the following table before installing memory modules when any NVIDIA adapters is installed.

Notes:
• If your adapter was previously configured, backup or record its configuration information, if possible,
before replacing the adapter. See the documentation for your adapter for information and instructions.
• If you are replacing a ServeRAID adapter, import your RAID configuration to the replacement adapter as
a foreign configuration after you finish the replacement. See the ServeRAID-M Software User Guide at
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/migr-5086126 for instructions.
