You have completed the hardware installation of the DXH510 into the server. If you are connecting multiple servers to the DSE4XM chassis, repeat this process for each server. Each server requires a DXH510 host adapter to connect to the DSE4XM chassis. If you are making a dual x8 connection to a single server, locate a second PCI Express slot and install the second DXH510 adapter.

2.2.1 Half-height Bracket Installation

For installation in a low-profile server, the full-height bracket must be replaced with the half-height bracket.

Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you are properly grounded prior to any hardware installation procedure using an ESD protection device such as a wrist strap.

1.Locate the half-height bracket in the DSE4XM package

2.Remove the four screws, indicated in Figure 2–4,that hold the full-height bracket to the DXH510. Do not attempt to remove the bracket until the screws have been fully removed.

3.Remove the bracket carefully from the device.

4.Align the connectors on the DXH510 with the openings in the half-height bracket: Be sure the bracket tabs are on the backside of the device.

5.Adjust the bracket so that the notches on the bracket tabs fit around the guides on the back of the card. The bracket guides are illustrated in Figure 2–4.

6.Attach the half-height bracket using a screwdriver to tighten the four screws. Do not overtighten the screws as this can damage the device.

7.Return to Step 2 of Section 2.2.
