Installing an adapter Complete the following steps to install an adapter. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 37. 1. Review the information in "Safety information" on page 119. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices, and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover" on page 40. Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route any cables before you install the adapter. 3. Remove the frame-support bracket. See "Removing the frame-support bracket" on page 41. 4. If you are installing a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-retaining bracket to the open position. 5. Rotate the rear adapter-retaining bracket to the open (unlocked) position, and remove it from the server. 6. From the rear of the server, press on the slot cover. Grasp it and pull the expansion-slot cover out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place for future use. Attention: 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. Set any jumpers or switches on the adapter or system board as described by the adapter manufacturer. 8. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package, 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. Note: It is best to move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the adapter slot. If this is not possible, set the adapter down on its static-protective package on a hard surface. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. Chapter 4. Installing options 43

Installing
an
adapter
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
an
adapter.
Attention:
When
you
handle
static-sensitive
devices,
take
precautions
to
avoid
damage
from
static
electricity.
For
details
about
handling
these
devices,
see
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
37.
1.
Review
the
information
in
“Safety
information”
on
page
119.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
all
attached
devices,
and
disconnect
all
external
cables
and
power
cords;
then,
remove
the
side
cover.
See
“Removing
the
side
cover”
on
page
40.
Note:
Check
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter
for
any
requirements,
restrictions,
or
cabling
instructions.
It
might
be
easier
to
route
any
cables
before
you
install
the
adapter.
3.
Remove
the
frame-support
bracket.
See
“Removing
the
frame-support
bracket”
on
page
41.
4.
If
you
are
installing
a
full-length
adapter,
rotate
the
front
adapter-retaining
bracket
to
the
open
position.
5.
Rotate
the
rear
adapter-retaining
bracket
to
the
open
(unlocked)
position,
and
remove
it
from
the
server.
6.
From
the
rear
of
the
server,
press
on
the
slot
cover.
Grasp
it
and
pull
the
expansion-slot
cover
out
of
the
expansion
slot.
Store
it
in
a
safe
place
for
future
use.
Attention:
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.
Set
any
jumpers
or
switches
on
the
adapter
or
system
board
as
described
by
the
adapter
manufacturer.
8.
Remove
the
adapter
from
the
static-protective
package,
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.
Note:
It
is
best
to
move
the
adapter
directly
from
the
static-protective
package
to
the
adapter
slot.
If
this
is
not
possible,
set
the
adapter
down
on
its
static-protective
package
on
a
hard
surface.
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
gold-edge
connectors
on
the
adapter.
