the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion
slot. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the
expansion slot.

slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might
damage the system board or the adapter.

11. If you are installing a full-length adapter, press on the release lever on the right
side of the front adapter-retention bracket to release the retaining tab on the

the flow of air from the fans.
13. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the
closed position.
Note: If any adapters in the server are large or have heavy cables attached to
them, you can remove the rear adapter-retention bracket and secure all of the
adapters with expansion-slot screws.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 67.
