Installing an adapter on the PCI-X bracket
Use this information to install an adapter on the PCI-X bracket.
Read the safety information in “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 35.
If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to turn off the server and peripheral devices,
and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
To install an adapter on the PCI-X bracket, complete the following steps.
Step 1.
Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing up.
Attention:
Do not allow the server to fall over.
Step 2.
Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on page 40).
Step 3.
See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions and information
about jumper or switch settings. (It might be easier for you to route cables before you install
the adapter.)
Step 4.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted metal surface on
the server; then, remove the adapter from the package.
Step 5.
Locate PCI slot 1 which you will install the adapter into.
Step 6.
Rotate the adapter-retention brackets on the PCI-X bracket to the open position.
Note:
Remove the expansion-slot cover if it is installed on the PCI-X bracket and save it for
future use.
