Installing An Optional Scsi Adapter - IBM IntelliStation M Pro User Manual

Attention
Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electromagnetic emissions standards of the computer and
ensures proper ventilation of computer components.
7. Set any jumpers or switches on the adapter or system board as described by
the adapter manufacturer.
8. When you are ready, remove the adapter from the static-protective package. It
is best to move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the
adapter slot. If this is not possible, set the adapter down on its
static-protective package on a hard surface. Avoid touching the components
and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
9. To install the adapter, 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.
Attention
Be certain 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.
10. Connect required cables to the adapter. Route cables so that they do not block
the flow of air from the fans.
11. If you have another adapter, repeat steps 1 - 10. If you have another option to
install, go to that section heading. Otherwise, complete the rest of the steps in
this section.
12. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter support
bracket to the closed (locked) position.
13. Reinstall the rear adapter support bracket; then rotate the bracket to the closed
(locked) position.
Note: The rear retaining bracket sits against the computer cover. You might
find it easier to lay the computer on its side to replace the cover.
14. Replace the support bracket.
15. Replace the side cover, see "Replacing the cover" on page 43 for details.
16. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then turn on the attached
devices and the computer.
