following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express slot 1, PCI-X slots 4 and 5, PCI Express slot 2, PCI slot 6, and PCI Express slot 3. v For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. To install an adapter, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 22. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover" on page 26. 3. Follow the cabling instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if there are any. Route the adapter cables before you install the adapter. 4.
