Installing a Non-hot-plug Adapter

This section gives the procedure for installing a non-hot-plug adapter.
If you want to remove a non-hot-plug adapter, reverse the steps.

Before you begin:

•  Read 'Safety information'.
•  Read the documentation that comes with the option.

To install a non-hot-plug adapter:

1.  Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords  (see 'Preparing to install options'); then remove the cover.
    See 'Removing the left-side cover (tower model)' or 'Removing the cover (rack model)'.
2.  Determine which PCI adapter expansion slot you will use for the adapter.

   Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements or restrictions.

3.  Remove the expansion-slot cover -1-.
   1.  Rotate the adapter retention latch -3- counterclockwise.
   2.  Remove the expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for future use.

     -Attention- Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots.  This maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components.

4.  Refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions.
    It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install the adapter.
5.  Press on the touchpoint on the adapter retainer flap -4- at the end of the slot nearest the front of the  server and rotate the adapter retainer flap upward.
6.  Remove the adapter from the static-protective package.

     -Attention- Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.

7.  Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
8.  Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.
9.  Install the adapter -8-.
   1.  Carefully grasp the adapter -8- by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot on the system board.
   2.  Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.

        -Attention- When you install an adapter in the server,  be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector before you apply power.
       Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter.

   3.  Lower the tab -2- on the adapter guide over the tab on the top corner of the adapter.
       Rotate the adapter retention latch -3- clockwise until it snaps into place.
   4.  Close the adapter retainer flap -4-.

10.  Connect any needed cables to the adapter.

      -Attention- Route cables so that the flow of air from the fans is not blocked.

11.  If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to 'Completing the installation'.
