4. Remove the expansion-slot cover:
a. Press the arrow on the adapter-retention bracket release tab and remove
the bracket.
b. Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the appliance. Store it in a safe place
for future use.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and
ensures proper cooling of system components.
5. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install
the adapter.
6. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
7. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
8. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.
9. Install the adapter:
a. If necessary, remove the adapter support bracket retaining clip.
b. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners and align it
with the expansion slot on the system board.
c. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the appliance, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector before you
apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system
board or the adapter.
d. Replace the retaining clip on the adapter support bracket, if you opened it.
e. Align the bottom tabs of the adapter retention bracket with the holes at the
top of the expansion slots, and press the adapter retention bracket toward
the back of the appliance until it clicks into the locked position.
