The following illustration shows the rerouting of the SCSI cable if you install a ServerRAID adapter. SCSI connector A (J24) To install an adapter: 1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 40. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the cover (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 42). 3. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter. Attention: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements or restrictions. 4. Remove the expansion-slot cover: a. Loosen and remove the screw on the top of the expansion-slot cover. b. Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the server. Store it in a safe place for future use. Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on the openings for all vacant slots. This maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components. 5. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install the adapter. 6. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package. Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. 7. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface. 8. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer. 9. Install the adapter: a. Carefully grasp the adapter 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. 46 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 342 Type 8669
