9. Carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it with

the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion

slot. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the

expansion slot.

Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion

slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might

damage the system board or the adapter.

10. Install an expansion-slot screw at the rear of the adapter.

11. If you are installing a full-length adapter, press on the release lever on the right

side of the front adapter-retention bracket to release the retaining tab on the

left side of the bracket.

12. Connect required cables to the adapter. Route cables so that they do not block

the flow of air from the fans.

13. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the

closed position.

Note: If any adapters in the server are large or have heavy cables attached to

them, you can remove the rear adapter-retention bracket and secure all of the

adapters with expansion-slot screws.

If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to

“Completing the installation” on page 67.

page 32).

3. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position.

4. Disconnect any cables connected to the adapter.
