Installing a Non-Hot-Plug PCI Adapter: This section gives the procedures for installing a non-hot-plug adapter. If you want to remove a non-hot-plug adapter, reverse the steps. Before you begin: Read "Safety Information" on page 226. Read the documentation that comes with your adapter for any special requirements or restrictions. Refer to the illustrations in "Installing a Hot-Plug PCI Adapter" on page 176 while you perform the steps in this procedure. To install a non-hot-plug PCI adapter: 1. Run the shutdown procedure for the operating system. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords (see "Preparing to Install Options" on page 160); then remove the top cover (see "Removing the Top Cover" on page 161). 2. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter. Note Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements or restrictions. 3. Remove the expansion-slot cover 3 : a. See the illustrations in "Installing a Hot-Plug PCI Adapter" on page 176 for operation of the adapter retention latch on the end of the slot near the rear of the server. b. Rotate the adapter retention latch 2 . c. Lift the tab 1 covering the top of the expansion-slot cover and remove the expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for future use. Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This maintains the electromagnetic-emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components. 4. 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. 5. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package. 180 Netfinity Server HMM
