Note: Only PCI-X slots 5 and 6 support hot-plug adapters. Attention: Disabling a PCI-X slot turns off the power LED for that PCI-X slot. Make sure that the power LED for the hot-plug PCI-X slot is off before you continue with the next step. See "System-board LED locations" on page 53 for the location of the power LED. 5. Disable the selected PCI-X slot from your operating system. (See the documentation that comes with your operating system for information about disabling a hot-plug PCI-X slot.) 6. Slide the orange adapter-retention-latch release toward the rear of the server and hold it there while you lift the black adapter-retention latch to the unlocked (open) position as indicated by the arrow. Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all empty slots. This maintains the electronic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components. 7. Remove the expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for future use. 8. If you are installing a full-length adapter, lift the adapter-retention clip on the adapter-support bracket. Otherwise, continue with the next step. 9. See the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter. Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. 10. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package. 11. Install the adapter: a. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if any) from the end of the adapter. Adapter guide b. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot on the system board. Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter. c. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot. d. Lower the adapter-retention latch over the top corner of the adapter. The adapter-retention latch automatically locks into place. Chapter 4. Customer replaceable units 63
