CAUTION:
Make sure that all server power cords are disconnected from their power sources before performing
this procedure.
Before you install an optional adapter in slots 1 through 4:
1. If the I/O tray is installed in the server, remove it. See "Remove the I/O tray" on page 152.

a network adapter (with an RJ45 connector), make sure that there is sufficient clearance to disconnect
the Ethernet cable from the adapter after it is installed.
2. Remove the riser for slots 1 through 4 (left riser). See "Remove the riser for slots 1 through 4 (left riser)"
on page 170.
3. Make sure that there is no filler installed in the slot where you are installing the adapter.
