Installing an adapter The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing an adapter. v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on. See "System-board connectors" on page 17 for the locations of the expansion slots and the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine connector. 36 System x3200 Types 4362 and 4363: User's Guide
