PCIe adapters in slots 1 through 4 are in an I/O tray riser that is accessed from the rear of the server. With the 
riser removed from the I/O tray, open the retention latch and insert the adapter in the riser; then, close the 
retention latch.

CAUTION: 
The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the 
electrical current that is supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power 
cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected 
from the power source.
CAUTION: 
Make sure that all server power cords are disconnected from their power sources before performing 
this procedure.
Before you install an adapter in slots 1 through 4, make sure that there is no filler installed in the slot where 
you are installing the adapter.
Important: You must remove the riser from the I/O tray before installing an adapter. If you are installing a 
network adapter (with an RJ45 connector), make sure that there is sufficient clearance to disconnect the 
Ethernet cable from the adapter after it is installed.
