10. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or
the adapter.
11. Close the adapter-retention bracket.
12. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter.
To install an adapter on the PCI-X bracket, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and the “Installation
guidelines” on page 37.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
3. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing
up.
Attention: Do not allow the server to fall over.
4. Unlock and remove the server cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on
page 60).
5. See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions
and information about jumper or switch settings. (It might be easier for you to
route cables before you install the adapter.)
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the adapter from the package.
7. Locate PCI slot 1 which you will install the adapter into.
8. Rotate the adapter-retention brackets on the PCI-X bracket to the open
position.
Note: Remove the expansion-slot cover if it is installed on the PCI-X bracket
and save it for future use.
