Chapter 4 Installing Hardware Options
Working with Adapters
To install a PCI or PCI-X adapter, follow these steps:
Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page 2-1, and the
“Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.
Step 2 Power down the device and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external cables.
Step 3 Remove the cover. (See the “Removing the Cover and Bezel” section on
page 4-1.)
Step 4 Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
Step 5 If you are installing an adapter in PCI slot 1 or 2, remove the PCI low-profile card
cage.
If you are installing an adapter in PCI slot 3, 4, or 5, remove the PCI riser card
assembly. (See Figure 4-5.)
Step 6 Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the PCI low-profile card cage or PCI riser
card cage.
Step 7 Install the adapter.
Step 8 Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
Caution When you route cables, do not block any connectors or the ventilated space
around any of the fans.
Caution Make sure that cables are not routed on top of components under the PCI riser
card cage or the PCI low-profile card cage.
Caution Make sure that cables are not pinched by the server components.
Figure 4-5 shows the cable routing for an adapter installed in the PCI low-profile
card cage.
