If you are replacing a component or installing an optional device in the server, you
need to turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
About this task
To install an adapter, complete the following steps.
Procedure
1. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover
facing up.
Attention: Do not allow the server to fall over.
2. Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see "Removing the left-side cover" on
page 39).
3. See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling
instructions and information about jumper or switch settings. (It might be
easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter.)
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the adapter from the package.
5. Determine the PCI slot into which you will install the adapter.
6. Rotate the adapter-retention brackets to the open position.
7. Remove the PCI slot filler, if installed. Keep the filler in a safe place for
potential future use.
8. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
