CAUTION:
Make sure that all server power cords are disconnected from their power sources before performing
this procedure.
Before you install an optional adapter in slots 1 through 4:
1. If the I/O tray is installed in the server, remove it. See “Remove the I/O tray” on page 152.
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.
2. Remove the riser for slots 1 through 4 (left riser). See “Remove the riser for slots 1 through 4 (left riser)”
on page 170.
3. Make sure that there is no filler installed in the slot where you are installing the adapter.
Complete the following steps to install an adapter in slots 1 through 4.

If you have no additional adapters to install in the riser after installing an optional adapter in slots 1 through 4:
1. If any of the adapters in the riser have internal cables, make sure that they are connected before
installing the riser in the I/O tray.
2. Install the riser in the I/O tray. See “Install the riser for slots 1 through 4 (left riser)” on page 176.
3. If you have no additional options to install in the I/O tray, install it. See “Install the I/O tray” on page 153.
Install a PCIe adapter in slots 10 through 15
PCIe adapters in slots 10 through 15 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.
