Important: Power cannot be restored to the adapter slot if the latch is not lowered into place. 12. If you installed a full-length adapter, close the adapter-retention clip on the adapter-support bracket. Otherwise, continue with the next step. Attention: When you route the cables, do not block the ventilated space around any of the fans. 13. Connect any needed cables to the adapter. 14. Enable the hot-plug PCI-X slot from your operating system. When the hot-plug PCI-X slot is enabled, the power LED for that hot-plug PCI-X slot comes on.

You can install an optional ServeRAID-5i controller only in PCI-X slot 4. Slot 4 is the only PCI-X slot that supports the ServeRAID-5i controller requirements.
