1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 65.
3. Lay the server on its side for easier operation.
4. If a PCI card bracket assembly is installed in your server, remove the PCI card bracket assembly. See
“Removing and reinstalling the PCI card bracket assembly” on page 69.
5. Locate a PCI Express card slot on the system board for installing the Ethernet card. You can install the
Ethernet card to the PCI-E slot 2 that supports a card with 167 mm (6.57 inches) in length. See “System
board components” on page 37 to identify the different types of PCI card slots in your server.
6. Remove any parts or disconnect any cables that might impede your operation.
7. Remove the PCI Express card slot bracket by removing the screw that secures the metal bracket and
then lifting the bracket out of the chassis. Store the PCI Express card slot bracket in case you later
remove the Ethernet card and need the bracket to cover the place.
Note: Carefully place the removed screw aside. You will need the screw later to secure the Ethernet
card in place.
