PCIe adapters, see “Rear view” on page 21.
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new PCIe adapter to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the new PCIe adapter out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
To install a PCIe adapter, complete the following steps:
