Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the adapter card
into the slot until it is firmly seated. When the adapter is properly seated, the
adapter port connectors are aligned with the slot opening, and the adapter
faceplate is flush against the system chassis.

Secure the adapter with the adapter clip or screw as recommended by the
system vendor.
7.
Close the system case and disconnect any personal anti-static devices.
8.
Connect to the Ethernet network using your preferred and supported cabling
option (see
“Tested Cables and Optical Modules” on page 282

CAUTION
Do not use excessive force when seating the card, because this may
damage the system or the adapter. If you have difficulty seating the
adapter, remove it, realign it, and try again.
