5. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install the
adapter. Refer to “Cabling example for the ServeRAID adapter” on page 73 for
information about cable routing for the optional ServeRAID adapter.
6. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
7. If you need to put down the adapter, place the adapter, component-side up, on a
flat, static-protective surface.
8. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.
9. Install the adapter:
a. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the expansion slot on the processor board.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is completely
and correctly seated in the processor-board connector. Incomplete insertion might
cause damage to the processor board or the adapter.
10. Lower the tab on the adapter guide over the tab on the top corner of the adapter.
Rotate the adapter retention latch clockwise until it snaps into place.
11. Lower the rear retainer clip over the top of the adapter until it snaps in place.
12. Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
13. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 92.
Cabling example for the ServeRAID adapter
You can install an optional ServeRAID® adapter in your server to control the hot-
swap hard-disk drives.
Note: For ease of cabling, install the optional ServeRAID adapter in PCI slot 6. It
might be easier for you to route the cables before you install the adapter.
Refer to the following illustration to install a PCI ServeRAID adapter.
