1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 21.
2. Turn off the server and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power
cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server.
3. Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the server cover (see
“Removing the cover” on page 23).
4. Lift the air baffle up, and out of the server. Store the air baffle in a safe place,
and keep it available for later reinstallation.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now.
Installing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters and riser cards that the server
supports and other information that you must consider when you install an adapter:
v
Read the documentation that comes with your operating system.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you must change the
switch settings or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v
The server has one PCI Express (PCIe) x16 riser-card connector, one PCIe x8
riser-card connector, and one Hyper Transport (HTX) riser-card connector. These
connectors support half-length riser cards.
v
All PCIe devices in the server must conform to the PCIe based specification,
revision 1.1 compliant requirements.
v If you plan to install an adapter in the server, you must install the adapter on a
riser card that the server supports. The server supports a maximum of two riser
cards and two adapters.
– You can install a PCIe x16 riser card in its designated connector in the server.
In addition, you can install either a PCIe x8 riser card or an HTX riser card in
its designated connector in the server.
– You can install a half-length adapter on the PCIe x16 riser card. In addition,
you can install a half-length adapter on either the PCIe x8 riser card or the
HTX riser card. The server does not support both a PCIe x8 adapter and an
HTX adapter in the same configuration.
