Adding or Replacing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter
To add or install an adapter, do the following:
1. On a Model 6C4, open the front and rear rack doors and place the system into the
service position as described in “Placing the Model 6C4 into the Service Position”
on page 355.
On a Model 6E4, open the bezel door.
2. Shut down the system as described in “Stopping the System” on page 350.
3. Disconnect the power source to the system.
Note: This system may be equipped with a second power supply. Before
continuing with this procedure, ensure that the system has been completely
disconnected from its power source.
4. Remove the service access cover as described in “Service Access Cover Removal
(Model 6C4)” on page 357 or “Service Access Cover Removal (Model 6E4)” on
page 363.
5. Refer to the PCI Adapter Placement Reference for information regarding slot
restrictions for adapters that can be used in this system.
6. If necessary, remove the adapter expansion slot shield.
7. Before handling any card, board, or memory DIMM, be sure to use your
electrostatic discharge strap to minimize static-electric discharge. Refer to
“Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 348.
8. If necessary, remove the adapter from the antistatic package.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
9. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
10. Set any jumpers or switches as instructed by the adapter’s manufacturer.
11. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge, and align the adapter with the
expansion slot and its connector on the PCI riser card.
12. Press the adapter firmly into its connector.
Attention: When you install an adapter into the system, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in its connector located on the PCI
riser card. Inserting and seating the adapter card improperly might
cause damage to the PCI riser card or the adapter.
13. Lower the tab onto the PCI adapter EMC shield/connector face plate. Rotate the
adapter retainer clip clockwise until it covers the tab at approximately a 45-degree
angle. See the following illustration.
