6. Install a PCI-X or PCI adapter, if you have one available:
a. Remove the expansion-slot cover from the PCI-X slot on the assembly.
Attention: PCI expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots.
This maintains the electronic emissions characteristics of the server and
ensures proper cooling of server components.
b. Touch the static-protective package that contains the PCI-X or PCI adapter
to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter
from the static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and
gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
c. 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.
d. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners and align it with
the expansion slot in the riser card assembly; then, press the adapter firmly
into the expansion slot.

server and with the riser-card connectors on the system board; then, press
