Attention:
Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on
might cause the server to stop, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem,
always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the
server with the power on.
Read the safety information in “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 35.
If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to turn off the server and peripheral devices,
and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps.
Step 1.
Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing up.
Attention:
Do not allow the server to fall over.
Step 2.
Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on page 184).
Step 3.
See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions and information
about jumper or switch settings. (It might be easier for you to route cables before you install
the adapter.)
Step 4.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted metal surface on
the server; then, remove the adapter from the package.
Step 5.
Determine the PCI slot into which you will install the adapter.
Step 6.
Rotate the adapter-retention brackets to the open position.
