10. Align the adapter with the expansion-slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the expansion slot. Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might damage the system board or the adapter.

Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans. If you are installing an optional SCSI adapter, see "Cabling an optional SCSI adapter" for additional information. 12. If you have other adapters to install or remove, do so now. 13. If you have installed a full-length adapter, close the front adapter-support bracket. 14. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket and close the bracket. Note: If any adapters in the server are large or have heavy cables attached to them, you can remove the rear adapter-retention bracket and secure all of the adapters with the expansion-slot screws that are stored on the frame-support bracket. 15. If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, replace the frame-support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 14) and go to "Completing the installation" on page 38. Cabling an optional SCSI adapter If your server model supports internal SCSI hard disk drives, you can install an optional SCSI adapter to control them. With a SCSI adapter installed, you can configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays. You can also cable a SCSI adapter to external hard disk drives. See your SCSI adapter option documentation for complete instructions for installing a SCSI adapter and for additional information about SCSI adapters. 34 xSeries 226 Type 8648: Installation Guide
