Install Add-in Board(s)
You may want to install an operating system before installing any add-in boards.
CAUTIONS
Do not overload the server board by installing add-in boards that draw
excessive current.
Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful
handling. After removing the board from its protective wrapper or from the
server board, place it component side up on a grounded, static-free surface or
conductive foam pad if available. Do not slide the board over any surface.
✏
NOTE
When removing a full-length add-in card, you must pull back on the latch on
the plastic card guide at the front of the chassis to release the card from the
card guide.
1. Press on two plastic tabs (letter “A”) and remove PCI Add-in Card Retainer, if not removed in a
previous step.
