Otherwise, the active power management event signal will be disabled by the system-board logic, and the WAN feature might not work. However, after the server is powered on locally, the active power manager active power management event signal will be enabled by the system-board logic.

vIf you switch the PCI adapter from slot 1 riser assembly to slot 2, you will need to remove the screw from the standard bracket and then replace the standard bracket with the low-profile bracket.

vThe server provides two PCI riser-card slots

vTo install any PCI adapter, both the AC and DC power cords must be disconnected from the power source before you remove the PCI Express riser assembly. Otherwise, this will cause the active power management event signal to become disabled by hardware. However, after the server is powered-on locally, the active power manager active power management event signal will be enabled by hardware.

Removing an adapter

To remove an adapter, complete the following steps:

1.Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines” on page 39.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords; then, remove the cover (see “Removing and replacing the cover” on page 43).

3.Disconnect any cables from the adapter.

4.Grasp the riser-card assembly at the rear edge and lift to remove the riser-card assembly.

5.Place the riser-card assembly on a flat, static-protective surface.

6.Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and pull the adapter from the riser-card assembly.
