3. Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on
video adapter is not supported.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page v and “Installation
guidelines” on page 43.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 51).
4. Follow the cabling instructions, if any come with the adapter. Route the adapter
cables before you install the adapter.
5. Insert the adapter into the riser-card assembly, aligning the edge connector on
the adapter with the connector on the riser-card assembly. Press the edge of the
connector firmly into the riser-card assembly. Make sure that the adapter snaps
into the riser-card assembly securely.
Attention: 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.
6. Install the riser-card assembly in the server (see “Replacing a PCI riser-card
assembly” on page 68).
7. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter.
Results
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 106.
