Installing an adapter 9

Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Installing a low profile bracket

You may have to install a low profile bracket to complete the product installation. The low profile bracket

replaces the existing standard profile bracket shipped on the product.
To install a low profile bracket:

1.

Using a correctly sized slotted screwdriver, carefully remove the two board lock screws located at
the top and bottom of the connector.

2.

Remove the standard profile bracket and place the low profile bracket over the connector. Be careful
not to damage the connector or bind the low profile bracket to the connector.

Installing an adapter in a server

The NC360T can be installed in 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.
