PCI Adapter Installation
To install a PCI ITI-5100G/GF adapter in your system, perform the following
procedure.
1. Observe all precautions and pre-installation instructions in the Safety
Precautions section.
Before installing the adapter, ensure the system power is OFF , and
proper electrical grounding procedures have been followed.
2. Remove the server cover, and select any empty PCI slot.
If you do not know how to identify a PCI slot, refer to your server
documentation.
3. Remove the blank cover-plate from the slot that you selected. Retain the
screw so that it can be replaced later.
4. Holding the PCI card by the edges, align the adapter's connector edge
with the PCI connector dock in the server.
Note: The connector dock in a 32-bit PCI slot is shorter than in a 64-
bit PCI slot. Although the adapter is designed to fit in either slot type,
when installed in a 32-bit PCI slot, part of the adapter's connector
edge will remain undocked. This is perfectly normal.
5. Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the adapter
card until it is firmly seated in the PCI slot.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when seating the card,
as this may damage the server or the adapter. If the card
resists seating, remove it from the system, realign it, and try
again.
When properly seated, the adapter's port connectors will be aligned with
the slot opening, and its faceplate will be flush against the server
chassis.
6. Use the screw removed above (in Step 3) to secure the adapter in the
PCI card cage.
7. Replace the server cover and disconnect any personal anti-static devices.
8. Power the server on.
Once the server returns to proper operation, the adapter hardware is fully
installed. You must next connect the network cables (see Connecting the
Network Cables) and install the adapter driver software (see Installing
the Driver Software).
