Installing an adapter Complete the following steps to install an adapter: 1. Read "Safety information" on page 119 and "Installation guidelines" on page 37. 2. Turn off the server and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server. 3. Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the server cover (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 44). 4. Determine which PCI-X slot you will use for the adapter. 5. On the rear panel, press the expansion-slot clip together to unlock the clip; then, pull the clip out from the server until it stops. It remains loosely attached to the server.

Ensure that the adapter is completely and correctly seated in the slot. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or to the adapter. 6.
