Install a Card Carrier Into the Server
Caution -
Avoid twisting, tilting, or pushing unevenly on the PCIe card as you insert it into
the carrier, which could damage the carrier slot or components on the PCIe card carrier circuit
board. The card's connector must be fully seated in the carrier's slot before you attempt to close
the top cover.
Note -
If the PCIe card includes a mounting screw, do not use the mounting screw. The carrier
does not accept mounting screws.
b. Close the top of the carrier (panel 2).
The green latch should click into place. If the top is difficult to close, verify that the notch
of the card bracket or filler panel fits around the guide post.
4. Install the card carrier into the server.

Install only PCIe x16 hot-plug card carriers, which are physically labeled with "x16 CAR" on
the faceplate, in SPARC M8 and M7 servers. Do not install PCIe x8 card carriers, which are
labeled with "CAR" on the faceplate, from earlier generations of Oracle servers. See “Supported
PCIe Card Carriers and PCIe Cards” on page 145 .
1. Ensure that you have already taken antistatic measures.
