9. Install the adapter: Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For information about handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 9. a. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package and set any jumpers or switches on the adapter as directed by the adapter manufacturer. If you are installing a full-length adapter, you might have to remove a plastic bracket secured to the adapter with 2 screws before installing the adapter. Attention: When you install an adapter, make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the connector before you turn on the server. Improperly seated adapters might cause damage to the system board, the riser card, or the adapter. b. If you are installing an adapter in PCI-X slot 1, attach the PCI riser card to the adapter. Reinstall the PCI riser card with the adapter already attached to the PCI riser card. c. Grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, align it with the connector, and press it firmly into the connector. 10. Slide the expansion-slot clip toward the server until it snaps into place to secure the adapter in the adapter slot. 11. Connect any internal cables to the adapter. See the instructions that come with the adapter for details. Attention: Make sure that the cables do not block the flow of air from the fans. 12. If you removed the power-cord module to install the adapter in PCI-X slot 2, install the module by reversing the procedure in step 8a on page 16. Ensure that the alignment tab is fully seated in the slot on the side of the server. 13. If you installed the adapter in PCI-X slot 1, secure the adapter by flexing the adapter-retention bracket toward the front of the server and inserting the front corners of the adapter into the recesses in the latch. 14. Perform any configuration tasks required for the adapter. Note: If you installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter II: a. Refer to the documentation provided with the Remote Supervisor Adapter II for information about installing the Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware and configuring the adapter. b. After you initially configure the adapter, you should create a backup copy of it so that if you need to replace the adapter in the future, you can restore the configuration and resume normal operation more quickly. 15. If you have other options to install, install them now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 31. Chapter 2. Installing options 17
