Important: Power cannot be restored to the adapter slot if the latch is not
lowered into place.
12. If you installed a full-length adapter, close the adapter-retention clip on the
adapter-support bracket. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
Attention: When you route the cables, do not block the ventilated space
around any of the fans.
13. Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
14. Enable the hot-plug PCI-X slot from your operating system. When the hot-plug
PCI-X slot is enabled, the power LED for that hot-plug PCI-X slot comes on.
See the documentation that comes with your operating system for information
about enabling a hot-plug PCI-X slot.

only in slots 5 and 6. It is a double width adapter that installs in slot 5 and
spans slots 5 and 6.
2. You can install an optional ServeRAID-5i controller only in PCI-X slot 4. Slot 4 is
the only PCI-X slot that supports the ServeRAID-5i controller requirements.
Install the ServeRAID-5i controller using the 3-U bracket that comes with the
controller. However, if a ServeRAID-5i controller is installed and later removed,
