Attention: When you handle electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, see “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 126.
To install an adapter, do the following:
1.
Review the safety precautions in “Safety information” on page 123.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See “Removing the side cover”
on page 57 for details.
3. Carefully remove the support bracket assembly from the server (see
“Removing the support bracket assembly” on page 59). Store the cover and the
support bracket assembly in a safe place.
4. Determine which PCI slot you will use for the adapter.
Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements
or restrictions.
5. Remove the rear adapter retaining bracket from the server. If you are
installing a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter support bracket to the
open (unlocked) position.
6.
Remove the expansion-slot cover. Store it in a safe place for future use.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emission characteristics of the system and ensures
proper cooling of system components.
