devices and cables before you install the adapter.
If the adapter you are installing requires device driver software, see the
documentation for the adapter and load the software before installing the
adapter.
With this system, you can install PCI adapters with the power on. These adapters are
referred to as
hot-pluggable PCI adapters. Some adapters are not hot-pluggable, and
power must be removed from the system before adapter installation.
