Installing an adapter in a server
The NC375T can be installed in either a standard or low-profile PCI Express slot. The kit includes brackets
for both slot types. See the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely
install a PCI Express card in the server.
1. Power down the server, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then remove the server
access panel.
2. Remove the expansion slot cover from a PCI Express slot.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
3. Firmly seat the adapter in a PCI Express slot and secure the adapter bracket.
4. Replace the access panel and plug in the power cord and network cable.
Installing a low profile bracket
You might have to install a low profile bracket to complete the product installation. The low profile bracket
replaces the existing standard profile bracket that is shipped attached to the product.
To install a low profile bracket:
1. Using a correctly sized screwdriver, carefully remove the board lock screw located at the top of the
bracket, and then slide the bracket off the PCA assembly.
2. Slide the low profile bracket over the connector and then refasten the screw. Be careful not to
damage the connector or bind the low profile bracket when sliding the bracket onto the PCA
assembly.
