the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
8. Install the adapter.
a. Turn the adapter so that the adapter keys align correctly with the mini-PCI
type III connector (PCI2) on the system board.
Attention:
To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the
connectors, handle the clips gently.
b. Insert the adapter into the connector at a slight angle and then press it
toward the system board until the retaining clips snap into the closed
positions. Also, make sure that the two stand-offs on the system board
come through their holes in the video adapter and lock it in place.
Note: If there is a gap between the adapter and the retaining clips, the
adapter has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining
clips and remove the adapter; then, reinsert the adapter. You might need to
disengage the locking clips on the two stand-offs to remove the adapter.
Attention:
Be certain that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion
slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might
damage the system board or the adapter.
