Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which might result in the
loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge
wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the
power on.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation
guidelines” on page 7.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See “Removing the side cover”
on page 10.
3. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the
adapter cables before you install the adapter.
4. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches,
if any.
5. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the server.
6. Remove the screw that secures the expansion-slot cover to the chassis. Store
the expansion-slot cover and screw in a safe place for future use.
Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures
proper ventilation of server components.
7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the
static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge
connectors on the adapter.
8. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide 1
(if any) from the end of the adapter.
9. Carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it
with the expansion-slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the
expansion slot. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to
the expansion slot.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion
slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might
damage the system board or the adapter.
