About this task
Note: PCI riser-card brackets must be installed even if you do not install an
adapter.
To install a PCI riser-card assembly, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 33.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 36).
4. Check whether there are rubber stoppers come with your PCI riser-card
assembly 2. If there are rubber stoppers come with your PCI riser-card
assembly 2, skip to next step.
