Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the adapter out of the package and place it on a static-protective
surface.
Step 2. Remove any components that may impede installation of the adapter.
Note: The adapter is shipped with and preinstalled on a mounting bracket, check and ensure that
the adapter is fixed in place. If there are any loosen screws, tighten the screws using a No.1 Phillips
torque screwdriver. The maximum torque value is 4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds.
Step 3. Align the notches on the mounting bracket with the pins on the chassis, place down the adapter,
and slightly slide it as shown to secure it on the chassis.

About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 134 to ensure that you work safely.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• GPU adapters are supported on some server models with requirements. See “Technical rules for GPU” on
page 151.
• Depending on the specific type, your GPU adapter might look different from the illustration in this topic.
• Use any documentation that comes with the GPU adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this topic.
