v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body. v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a metal surface. v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. Installing an adapter The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing adapters: v PCI-X slots 1 and 2 support non-hot-plug, 64-bit, 100 MHz, low-profile adapters. v PCI-X slots 3 and 4 support non-hot-plug, 64-bit, 133 MHz, standard full-length adapters. v The optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be installed only in a dedicated slot on the system board. The following illustration shows how to install the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.
