Installing the ASM PCI adapter:
1. Remove the expansion-slot cover as shown in the following illustration:
a. Loosen and remove the screw on the top of the expansion-slot cover.
Note: The ASM adapter should be installed in PCI slot 1. For more
information on PCI-adapter slot locations, see "Appendix C. PCI
Adapter Placement" on page 131.
b. Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the engine. Store it in a safe place for
future use.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on the openings for all
vacant slots. This maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of
the system and ensures proper cooling of system components.
2. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
3. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Install the adapter:
a. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it
with the expansion slot on the system board.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the engine, ensure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector before you
apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board
or the adapter.
c. Insert and tighten the expansion-slot screw on the top of the adapter
bracket.
