Installing Adapters
Before you begin
Ÿ Read “Electrical Safety” on page 53 and “Handling
Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 54.
Ÿ
Read the instructions that come with the adapter.
Ÿ
Turn off the server.
Ÿ Disconnect all external cables and power cords (see
“Preparing to Add Options” on page 55).
Ÿ Remove the server cover (see “Preparing a Tower Model” on
page 55 for a tower model model; if you have a drawer
model, see “Preparing a Drawer Model” on page 58).
1. Review the instructions that come with the adapter to determine
if the adapter must be installed in a certain slot; otherwise, use
any empty, bus-compatible slot.
2. If you are installing a video adapter, you might have to change
a jumper position on the system board. See Appendix A,
“Jumpers” on page 207 for detailed information on changing
jumper positions.
