Installing a low-profile adapter into slot 1 This section provides an overview of the procedure for installing a low-profile adapter. For detailed instructions, see the Option Installation Guide. Complete the following steps to install a low-profile adapter: 1. Remove the expansion slot 1 cover from the slot. 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 8. 2. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package and set any jumpers or switches on the adapter as directed by the adapter manufacturer. 3. Slide the back end of the low-profile adapter through the slot 1 opening at the rear of the server.

An improperly seated adapter might cause damage to the system board, the riser card, or the adapter. 4. Press the edge connector of the adapter firmly into the connector of the low-profile riser card. 5. Snap the low-profile adapter into place on the low-profile adapter support. 6. Make sure that the retention latches for the low-profile riser card are still securely in place. 7. 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. See the Option Installation Guide for cable routing areas on the system board. 8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. 9. Go to "Completing the installation" on page 22.
