8. Install the adapter:
Note: When installing an adapter into slot 2, skip steps a and d.
a. Open the adapter-retention latch by pushing the blue tab to release it. Then
push the latch up to the full open position.
b. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the connector on the PCI riser card.
c. Press the adapter firmly into the riser-card connector.
Attention: When you install an adapter, be sure that the adapter is correctly
seated in the riser-card connector before you turn on the appliance server.
Improperly seated adapters might cause damage to the system board, the
riser card, or the adapter.
d. Push down on the blue adapter-retention latch until it clicks into place,
securing the adapter.
e. Replace the expansion-slot clip by sliding it down until it latches into place
and holds the adapter securely.
