Removing the cover
The following information describes how to remove the cover.

Complete the following steps to remove the cover from the server:
1.
Review the information in “Before you begin” on page 42.
2.
Turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3.
Remove the server from the rack (see “Rack installation” on page 43).
4.
Remove the two screws from the rear of the server.
5.
Pull out on the cover release lever at the back of the server, to release the cover.
6.
Slide the cover back, then up and off the server.
Attention:
For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage server components.
7.
Remove the clear shield that covers the inside of the server.
Note:
It is not necessary to remove the shield when you are installing memory modules or installing an adapter in the PCI slots.
Working with adapters
The server comes with two peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapter slots on the system board with riser cards installed in them.
Attention:
Your server also comes with an integrated video controller on the system board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the server BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller. This allows the video adapter in the PCI slot to control the video functions for your monitor.
The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI expansion slots on the system board.
Note:
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you need to change the switch settings or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.
• You can install 32-bit or 64-bit full-length or half-length adapters in the expansion slots. Full-length adapters are installed in slot 1; half-length adapters are installed in either slot 1 or 2.
• Your server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3 V only adapters.
• Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters.
Because of this technique, you can install PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
• PCI slots 1 and 2 and the integrated SCSI controller are on PCI bus B; the system board and all other integrated devices are on PCI bus A.
Note:
PCI bus A = bus 0; PCI bus B = bus 1.
• The system scans PCI slots 1 and 2 to assign system resources. By default the system starts (boots) devices in the following order: System SCSI devices, then
PCI devices.
Note:
To change the boot precedence, start the Configuration/Setup Utility, select Start Options from the main menu; then, select the PCI SCSI
adapter boot option
.

Installing an adapter
Complete the following steps to install an adapter:
Attention:
When you handle electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 110.
1.
2.
Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3.
Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the cover as shown. For more
information see “Removing the cover” on page 44.

4.
Remove the expansion slot clip that holds the expansion slot cover in place by sliding it upward and off the frame of the server.

Remove the expansion-slot cover.
6.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling instructions.
Attention:
You should route adapter cables before you install the adapter.
7.
Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.
8.
Install the adapter:
Note:
When installing an adapter into slot 2, skip steps a and d.
a.
Open the adapter retention latch by pushing the blue tab to release it. Then push the latch up to the full open position.
b. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with the connector on the PCI riser-card.
c.
Press the adapter firmly into the riser-card connector.
Attention:
When you install an adapter, be sure the adapter is correctly seated in the riser-card connector before you turn on the server. Improperly seated adapters might cause damage to the system board, the riser-card, or the adapter.
d. Push down on the blue adapter retention latch until it clicks into place, securing the adapter.
e.
Replace the expansion slot clip by sliding it down until it latches into place and holds the adapter securely.
9.
Connect the internal cables to the adapter.
