Installing a PCIe adapter in the 9009-41A, 9009-42A, and 9223-42H

To install a PCIe adapter in the system, complete the steps in this procedure.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Ensure that the target slot is empty.
3. If necessary, remove the adapter from the antistatic package.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold connectors on the adapter.
4. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, antistatic surface.
Attention: A pin on the tailstock of the adapter resembles a removable screw. Do not remove
this pin. It is required for correct alignment and seating.
5. If the adapter latch (B) at the target slot on the system is not already in the open position, pull the
latch into the open position by rotating the latch outwards from its clip on the back of the system.
See Figure 13 on page 18 and Figure 14 on page 19 for the location of the adapter latch.
