Notes:
v The instructions in this section apply to any supported adapter (for example,
video graphics adapters or network adapters).
v You must install an internal ServeRAID adapter in PCI riser-card assembly 2.
v When you install an adapter, make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in
the riser-card assembly and that the riser-card assembly is securely seated in the
riser-card connector on the system board before you turn on the server. An
incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the system board, the
riser-card assembly, or the adapter.
v Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at
75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution that is supported for
any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
v Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on
video adapter is not supported
v
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page Safety and “Installation
guidelines” on page 30.
2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 21) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables from the server.
3. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the server top cover” on page 33).
4. Follow the cabling instructions, if any come with the adapter. Route the adapter
cables before you install the adapter.
5. Installing an adapter in PCI riser-card assembly 1:
Insert the adapter into the PCI riser-card assembly, aligning the edge connector
on the adapter with the connector on the PCI riser-card assembly. Press the
edge of the connector firmly into the PCI riser-card assembly. Make sure that
the adapter snaps into the PCI riser-card assembly securely.
