Use this information to install the optional two-port Ethernet
adapter.
To install the Ethernet adapter, complete the following
steps:
- Read the safety information that begins on Safety and Installation guidelines.
- Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect
the power cords.
- Remove the cover (see Removing the cover).
- Remove the PCI riser-card assembly (if installed) from
PCI riser connector 1 (see Replacing a PCI riser-card assembly).
- Attach the rubber stopper on the chassis, along the edge
of the system board, as shown in the following illustration.
Figure 1. Rubber stopper
- Remove the adapter filler panel on the rear of the chassis
(if it has not been removed already).
Figure 2. Filler panel removal
- Install the two standoffs on the system board.
- Insert the bottom tabs of the metal clip into the port
openings from outside the chassis.
Figure 3. Metal clip installation
- While you slightly press the top of the metal clip, rotate
the metal clip toward the front of the server until the metal clip
clicks into place. Make sure the metal clip is securely engaged on
the chassis.
Attention: Pressing the top of
the metal clip with excessive force may cause damage to the metal
clip.
- Touch the static-protective package that contains the new
adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove
the adapter from the package.
- Align the adapter with the adapter connector on the system
board; then, tilt the adapter so that the port connectors on the adapter
line up with the port openings on the chassis.
Figure 4. Adapter installation
- Slide the port connectors on the adapter into the port
openings on the chassis; then, press the adapter firmly until the
two standoffs engage the adapter. Make sure the adapter is securely
seated on the connector on the system board. Make sure the port connectors
on the adapter do not set on the rubber stopper. The following illustration
shows the side view of the adapter in the server.
Figure 5. Adapter installation
Attention: Make sure the port connectors on the
adapter are aligned properly with the chassis on the rear of the server.
An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the system board
or the adapter.
Figure 6. Port connectors
- Reinstall the PCI riser-card assembly in PCI riser connector
1 if you have removed it previously (see Replacing a PCI riser-card assembly).
