4 Hardware Installation

Note
If you are replacing an existing adapter with a new
adapter, you must re-install the driver.
Insert a PCI Express Adapter in the Server
1 Turn off the server and unplug the power
cord, then remove the server's cover.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Turn off and unplug the server before removing the
server's cover. Failure to do so could endanger you and
may damage the adapter or server.
2 Remove the cover bracket from a PCIe 3.0
slot. PCI-Express slots and adapters vary in
the number of connectors present,
depending on the data lanes being
supported.
3 Insert the adapter in an available, compatible
PCI Express slot. Push the adapter into the
slot until the adapter is firmly seated. The
adapter can be installed in a x8 or x16
mechanical PCIe slot.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Some PCI-Express adapters may have a short connector,
making them more fragile than PCI adapters. Excessive
force could break the connector. Use caution when
pressing the board in the slot.
4 Repeat steps 2 through 3 for each adapter
you want to install.
5 Replace the server cover and plug in the
power cord.
6 Turn the power on.
