See "System-board option connectors" on page 7 for the locations of expansion slots on the system board. Complete the following steps to install an adapter: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii, and "Installation guidelines" on page 11. 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 13. 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. Remove the frame-support bracket. See "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 14. 6. Open the rear adapter-retention bracket and remove it from the server. If you are installing a full-length adapter, also open the front adapter-support bracket. 7. Remove the expansion-slot cover. Notes: a. If you are installing an adapter into slot 3, move the expansion-slot cover with the SCSI knockout to a vacant adapter slot. b. 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. 8. Touch the static-protective package containing 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. 9. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if any) from the end of the adapter.
