a. Carefully grasp the adapter 3 by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot on the system board. b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot. Attention When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in the system board connector before you apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter. 9. If you are installing an adapter in PCI slots 1, 2, 3, or 4: a. Refer to the illustration in "Hot-plug PCI adapter installation" on page 165 for operation of the adapter retention latch on the end of the slot near the rear of the server. b. Lower the tab on the adapter guide over the tab on the top corner of the adapter. Rotate the adapter retention latch clockwise until it snaps into place. If you are installing an adapter in PCI slot 5 or in the ISA slot: a. Align the rounded notch in the retaining bracket on the adapter 5 with the threaded hole in the expansion-slot frame. The retaining bracket on the adapter fits into the space that was occupied by the expansion-slot cover. b. Insert the expansion-slot screw 3 that you removed earlier into the threaded hole, and push the rounded notch up against the screw. c. Tighten the expansion-slot screw firmly. Note The expansion slot also has an adapter retention latch 4 at the end of the slot toward the middle of the server. To remove the adapter, you need to push this adapter retention latch 4 away from the adapter until the top edge of the adapter is past the latch. 10. Connect any needed cables to the adapter. 11. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 178.
