the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: AGP
slot, mini-PCI slot, PCI expansion slot 1, system-board integrated drive
electronics (IDE) or small computer system interface (SCSI) devices, and then
PCI slots 2 through 3.
v Some models come with a IEEE 1394 (FireWire) adapter installed in the mini-PCI
slot. If your computer did not come with a IEEE 1394 (FireWire) adapter installed,
do not install any adapter in the mini-PCI slot.

Installing an adapter

Complete the following steps to install an adapter in your M Pro Type 6220
computer:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and the guidelines in
"Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 29.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices (see "Turning off the computer"
on page 20); then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
3. Remove the cover. See "Removing the cover" on page 33.
4. Determine which PCI slot you will use for the adapter. Review the instructions
that come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling
instructions. It might be easier to route any cables before you install the
adapter.
5. Grasp the drive cage and rotate it out until the drive cage latches onto the
front of the computer chassis.
6. Lift the support bracket out of the computer. See "Removing and installing the
support bracket" on page 33.
7. Rotate the rear adapter-support bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the computer.
8. Remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the computer, press on the
slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place
for future use.
Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all empty slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the computer and
ensures proper ventilation of computer components.
9. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if
any.
10. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package, carefully grasp the
adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot
guides. Then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot. Move the
adapter directly from the static-protective package to the adapter slot. Avoid
touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion
slot before you turn on the computer. Incomplete installation of an adapter
might damage the system board or the adapter.
