1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new PCIe adapter to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the new PCIe adapter out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
2. Locate an appropriate PCIe slot. See “Rear view” on page 18 to identify the PCIe slots of your server.
Notes:
• Do not install PCIe adapters with small form factor (SFF) connectors in PCIe slot 6.
• Observe the following PCIe slot selection priority when installing an Ethernet adapter or a converged
network adapter:
Number of installed processors
PCIe slot selection priority
One processor
4, 2, 3, 1
Two processors 4, 2, 6, 3, 5, 1
