Installing an adapter: Do the following to install an adapter in the desktop model:
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 37.
1. Review the information in “Safety information” on page vii.
2. Turn off the computer and attached devices.
3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords; then remove the cover. See
“Removing the cover” on page 41.
4. Determine which PCI slot you will use for the adapter.
Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements,
restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route any cables
before you install the adapter.
5. Rotate each drive bay cage until the drive cage latches catch the front of the
computer chassis.
6. Lift the frame support bracket. See “Removing the frame support bracket” on
page 42.
7. Rotate the rear adapter support bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the computer.
8. Remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the computer, press on the
slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place for
future use.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the computer and ensures proper
ventilation of computer components.
9. Set any jumpers or switches on the adapter or system board as described by the
adapter manufacturer.
10. When you are ready, remove the adapter from the static-protective package. It is
best to move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the adapter
slot. If this is not possible, set the adapter down in its static-protective package
on a hard surface. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on
the adapter.
