Installing the Half-Height Bracket
For half-height installation (such as in low-profile systems), you need to replace the full-height retaining bracket with
the included half-height bracket.
Attention!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded
before starting any hardware installation procedure.
1. Locate the half-height bracket in your IBM High IOPS Adapter package:
Attention!
Use care in removing the retaining screws. Do not twist or pull on the bracket until both screws
are out as this can cause damage to the components.
2. To prevent damage to the IBM High IOPS Adapter, use only a Philips #1 tip screwdriver. Remove the two
screws holding the full-height bracket to the IBM High IOPS Adapter
Attention!
Take note of the position of the screws and how the bracket screw holes were inserted in the
device. You must insert the half-height bracket holes in the same manner.
3. Remove the bracket carefully from the device.
4. Align the LEDs on the IBM High IOPS Adapter with the holes in the half-height bracket. Insert the bracket
screw holes in the same manner as the full height bracket was inserted. Refer to the example below that
matches your device configuration.
