on page 22.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on
page 26.

8k-l adapter connector, open and close the clips gently.
3. Open the retaining clip on each end of the ServeRAID 8k-l adapter connector.
4. Touch the static-protective package containing the ServeRAID 8k-l adapter to
any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the ServeRAID 8k-l
adapter from the package.
5. Turn the ServeRAID 8k-l adapter so that the ServeRAID 8k-l adapter keys align
correctly with the connector.
