apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system
board or the adapter.
c. Lower the tab

on the adapter guide over the tab on the top corner of
the adapter. Rotate the adapter retention latch

10. Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
Attention: Route cables so that the flow of air from the fans is not blocked.
11. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 85.
Special considerations for installing a RAID adapter
You can install an optional RAID adapter in your server to control the hot-swap
hard disk drives.
To install the RAID adapter:
1. Disconnect the SCSI cable from the SCSI cable extender on the system board.
See the illustration in “Installing a hot-plug PCI adapter” on page 56 for the
location of the SCSI cable extender. (The other end of the SCSI cable is
connected to the SCSI hard disk drive (HDD) backplane.) The Service label on
the inside of the cover of your server shows cable routing for an optional RAID
adapter.
2. Connect the end of the SCSI cable that you disconnected from the SCSI cable
extender to the RAID adapter. The other end of the cable is connected to the
SCSI HDD backplane; the drives in the hot-swap bays are now connected to
the RAID adapter.
3. Connect the 2-drop SCSI cable to the SCSI cable extender on the system
board, and attach the device in the non-hot-swap bay to one of the drops on
the other end of the 2-drop SCSI cable. The device is attached to the
integrated SCSI controller.
Refer to the documentation provided with the RAID adapter for more information
about installing the adapter and configuring a disk array.
Verifying compatibility between network adapters and device drivers
Your server supports several types of network adapters. If you are having trouble
with the installation or operation of a network adapter or network operating system,
ensure that the network-adapter device driver supports up to four processors.
Refer to your network-adapter documentation for additional information about
adapter compatibility requirements.
