Replacing a PCIe adapter in the 9080-M9S system

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 you want, place the adapter you removed earlier in the antistatic package.
