1. Read the safety information and installation guidelines, see "Safety" on page
vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 45.
2. Turn off the server (see "Turning off the server" on page 41) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables from the server.
3. Remove the storage book from the server (see "Removing the storage book"
on page 266).
4. Open the PCIe retention lever and remove the expansion slot cover from the
slot where you want to install the adapter.
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
surface on the outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge
or upper corners of the adapter and remove it from the package.
6. Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the
storage book board
7. Insert the adapter into the connector, aligning the edge connector on the
adapter with the connector on the storage book board. Press the edge of the
connector on the adapter firmly into the connector. Make sure that the adapter
snaps into the connector on the storage book board securely.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated into the connector
before you turn on the server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause
damage to the storage book board or the adapter.
