Attention:
Do not remove a hot-plug PCI adapter before performing the
operating-system-defined procedure for disabling the Active PCI (hot-plug) slot that
contains the adapter. Failure to do so might cause your system to lock up. Refer to
your operating-system documentation.

To install a hot-plug PCI 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 search for ESD:
http://www.ibm.com
1. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the server top cover and bezel” on
page 53).
2. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
Note: All six PCI slots support hot-plug PCI adapters.
3. Disable the selected PCI slot from your operating system. (Refer to the
documentation that comes with your operating system for information about
disabling a hot-plug PCI slot.) Disabling the PCI slot turns off the power-on
light for that PCI slot.
Attention:
Make sure that the power-on light for the hot-plug PCI slot is off
before you continue with the next step.
4. Remove the expansion-slot cover:
a. Rotate the adapter retention latch counterclockwise.
b. Lift the tab on the top of the expansion-slot cover; then, remove the
expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for future use.
