Installing the Adapter in a Server
Refer to the Compaq ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely
install a PCI card in your server.
Figure 2-1. Installing the adapter in a server
1. If the server is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power down the server and unplug the power
cord.
2. Remove the server cover and the cover bracket from a PCI slot.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: If the device is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power down the device and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet before removing the device cover. Failure to do so may
damage the adapter or server.
3. Firmly seat the adapter in a PCI slot and secure the adapter bracket with a screw or clip.
4. If you are using the Wake on LAN (WOL) feature, refer to the “Connecting the Wake on
LAN Power Cable” section of this chapter. If you are not using this feature, replace the
server cover and plug the power cord into the outlet.
