PCI-E Network Adapter Quick Installation Guide
Quick Installation Guide
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the power before removing the computer’s cover.
Failure to do so could endanger you and may damage the adapter or
computer.
STEP 1.
Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord. For hot-plug servers, see your
server documentation first.
STEP 2.
Remove the cover bracket from a PCI-Express slot (v1.0a or newer) or a PCI (2.2 or
later) slot. If you have configuration problems, see your computer's documentation
to determine if the PCI-Express or PCI slots are bus master-enabled.
STEP 3.
NOTE: This is an optional step for low-profile-capable models:
If you need to install the adapter in a low profile PCI-Express or PCI chassis, first
replace the adapter standard bracket with the supplied low-profile bracket. To
remove the existing bracket, unscrew the two screws as shown in the diagram on
the next page and then pull the bracket off. Reverse the process to attach the low
profile bracket.
