5. Remove the microprocessor and memory expansion tray (see "Removing the
microprocessor and memory expansion tray assembly" on page 305) or DIMM
air baffle (see "Removing the DIMM air baffle" on page 232), whichever one is
installed.
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
surface on the outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge or
upper corners of the adapter and remove it from the package.
7. Use one of the following procedures:
a. To install the adapter on the system board, complete the following steps:
1) Open the PCIe retention latch.
2) Remove the PCIe filler bracket from the slot in which you want to
install the adapter.
3) Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on
the system board.
4) Insert the adapter into the connector on the system board until it is
firmly seated.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is seated correctly. Incomplete
insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter.
5) Close the PCIe retention latch.
6) Connect any cables to the adapter, if applicable.
b. To install the adapter on the PCIe riser-card assembly, complete the
following steps:
1) Carefully grasp the riser card assembly by the blue touch points and
pull it up until the riser card assembly disengages from the connector
on the system board.
2) Open the PCIe retention latch.
3) Remove the PCIe filler bracket from the slot in which you want to
install the adapter.
4) Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on
the riser card assembly.
5) Insert the adapter into the connector on the riser card until it is firmly
seated.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is seated correctly. Incomplete
insertion might cause damage to the system board, the adapter, and the
PCIe riser card assembly.
6) Close the PCIe retention latch.
7) Connect any cables to the adapter, if applicable.
8) Reinstall the riser card assembly onto the system board.
8. Route the signal cables through the SAS cable guide and connect the signal
cables to the drive backplane.
Note: Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the
adapter and drive backplane: port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive
backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port 1 on the drive backplane
(depending on the type of drive backplanes you installed in the server).
