1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 44. 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 46 for details. 3. Determine which PCI expansion slot you will use for the adapter. Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install the adapter. 4. If you are installing a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter support bracket to the open (unlocked) position. 5. Rotate the rear adapter retaining bracket to the open (unlocked) position; then place it over the rear of the server. 6. Remove the PCI expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the server, press in on the slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the slot. Store it in a safe place for future use. Attention: PCI expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the server and ensures proper cooling of server components. 7. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. 8. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface. 9. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer. 10. To install the adapter, carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the PCI expansion slot. Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in the PCI expansion slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter. 11. Connect required cables to the adapter. Attention: Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans. 52 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

1.
Review
the
information
in
“Before
you
begin”
on
page
44.
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
46
for
details.
3.
Determine
which
PCI
expansion
slot
you
will
use
for
the
adapter.
Note:
Check
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter
for
any
requirements,
restrictions,
or
cabling
instructions.
It
might
be
easier
for
you
to
route
any
cables
before
you
install
the
adapter.
4.
If
you
are
installing
a
full-length
adapter,
rotate
the
front
adapter
support
bracket
to
the
open
(unlocked)
position.
5.
Rotate
the
rear
adapter
retaining
bracket
to
the
open
(unlocked)
position;
then
place
it
over
the
rear
of
the
server.
6.
Remove
the
PCI
expansion-slot
cover.
From
the
rear
of
the
server,
press
in
on
the
slot
cover.
Grasp
it
and
pull
it
out
of
the
slot.
Store
it
in
a
safe
place
for
future
use.
Attention:
PCI
expansion-slot
covers
must
be
installed
on
all
vacant
slots.
This
maintains
the
electromagnetic
emissions
characteristics
of
the
server
and
ensures
proper
cooling
of
server
components.
7.
Remove
the
adapter
from
the
static-protective
package.
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
gold-edge
connectors
on
the
adapter.
8.
Place
the
adapter,
component-side
up,
on
a
flat,
static-protective
surface.
9.
Set
any
jumpers
or
switches
as
described
by
the
adapter
manufacturer.
10.
To
install
the
adapter,
carefully
grasp
the
adapter
by
its
top
edge
or
upper
corners,
and
align
it
with
the
expansion
slot
guides;
then,
press
the
adapter
firmly
into
the
PCI
expansion
slot.
Attention:
When
you
install
an
adapter
in
the
server,
be
sure
that
it
is
completely
and
correctly
seated
in
the
PCI
expansion
slot
before
you
turn
on
the
server.
Incomplete
insertion
might
cause
damage
to
the
system
board
or
the
adapter.
11.
Connect
required
cables
to
the
adapter.
Attention:
Route
cables
so
that
they
do
not
block
the
flow
of
air
from
the
fans.
