Chapter 2: Hardware Installation Instructions
To install the adapter, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the adapter and inspect the adapter for damage.
Unpack the adapter in a static-free environment. Remove the adapter from the antistatic bag, and carefully inspect the
adapter for damage. If you notice any damage, contact Lenovo or your reseller support representative.
ATTENTION
To avoid the risk of data loss, back up your data before you change your system configuration.
2. Review the adapter connectors.
3. Check whether the adapter is well-fixed on the mounting bracket.
The adapter ships preinstalled on a mounting bracket. Check that the adapter is fixed in place. If any loose screws
exist, tighten the screws using a No.1 Phillips torque screwdriver. The maximum torque is 4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds.
ATTENTION
Exceeding this torque specification can damage the board, connectors, or screws, and can void
the warranty on the adapter. Damage caused to the adapter as a result of changing the bracket
can void the warranty on the board. Adapters returned without a bracket mounted on the board
will be returned without return merchandise authorization (RMA) processing.
4. Prepare the server.
Turn off the power to the server and disconnect all power cords.
5. Remove the top cover from the chassis.
6. Remove any components that might impede the adapter installation.

7. Install the adapter.
Align the notches on the mounting bracket with the four pins or three pins on the chassis, place down the adapter, and
slightly slide the adapter to secure it in place, as the following figure shows.
ATTENTION
The shape, size, and locations of the components on your adapter and its bracket might vary
from the following illustration.
