17. Connect any required cables to the adapter. Route the cables so that they do
not block the flow of air from the system fan.
18. Install the air baffle (see “Replacing the air baffle” on page 185).
If you have other devices to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to “Completing the
installation” on page 82.
To install a an adapter on the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies,
complete the following steps. For 4U server models with non-hot-swap power
supplies, please see the above sub-section.
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation
guidelines” on page 35.
2. Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements,
restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route cables before
you install the adapter.
3. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches,
if any.
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the
static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge
connectors on the adapter.
5. Turn off the server and all peripheral devices; then, disconnect the power
cords and all external cables.
6. Unlock and remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page
38).
7. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the system
board facing up.
Attention: Do not allow the server to fall over.
8. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position.
9. Remove the expansion-slot cover by unscrewing the screw that secures it to
the chassis. Store the expansion-slot cover and screw in a safe place for future
use.
Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures proper
ventilation of server components.
10. Carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corner, and move the
adapter directly from the static-protective package to the expansion slot. Align
the adapter with the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into
the expansion slot.
11. Connect the required cables to the adapter. Route cables so that they do not
block the air flow from the fan.
12. Position the rear adapter retention bracket so that the hole in one of the hinge
points is aligned with the hinge pin on the chassis; then, place the hinge pin
through the hole on the chassis.
