Installing an adapter
Note:
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To install an adapter:
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to the following Web site and use a search term of ESD:
http://www.ibm.com/
1. Review the safety precautions listed in Statement 1 and Statement 5 in “Safety
information” on page 20.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover. See “Removing the cover, door, and bezel”
on page 26 for details.
3. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements
or restrictions.
4. Remove the expansion-slot cover:
a. Press the arrow on the adapter-retention bracket release tab and remove the
bracket.
b. Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the server. Store it in a safe place for
future use.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures
proper cooling of system components.
5. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install the
adapter.
