Step7 Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the
appliance, and then remove the adapter from the static-protective package. Avoid touching the
components and gold-plated edge connectors on the adapter.
Step8 Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface and set any jumpers or switches
as described by the adapter manufacturer, if necessary.
Caution When you install an adapter in the appliance, be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in the PCI
expansion slot before you power up the appliance. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the
system board or the adapter.
Step9 To install the adapter, carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, align it with the PCI-X
slot 1 connector (labeled 3 in Figure 5), and then press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
