Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all empty slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures
proper cooling of system components.
4. Install the low profile 2-U bracket on the adapter:
a. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package. Set the adapter
down on a nonconductive, static-protected surface (place it component side
up).
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on
the adapter.
b. Remove the 3-U bracket from the adapter and replace it with the 2-U low
profile bracket that comes with the RAID controller option. See the
documentation that comes with your RAID controller option for instructions.
5. Install the adapter:
a. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it
with the expansion slot on the system board.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot and close the adapter
retainer.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the connector. Incomplete insertion might
cause damage to the system board or the adapter.
6. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Installing the server cover and bezel” on page 71.
Installing a hot-swap drive
Your server supports six 1-inch (26 mm) slim 3.5-inch low voltage differential (LVD)
hard disk drives.
Each hot-swap drive has two indicator LEDs. If the amber hard disk drive status
LED is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and requires replacement. When the hard
disk status LED indicates a drive fault, you can replace a hot-swap drive without
turning off the server.
The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.
