To install a PCI adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 37.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external cables (see “Turning off the server” on page 22).
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 45).
4. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
5. If you are installing an adapter in PCI expansion slot 1 or 2, remove PCI
riser-card assembly 1; if you are installing an adapter in PCI expansion slot 3
or 4, remove PCI riser-card assembly 2. See “Removing a PCI riser-card
assembly” on page 46.
6. Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the PCI riser-card assembly expansion
slot.
