screw and rotating the clip outward. (See location 2 in Figure 4-8 on page 4-15.)

Installing a PCI Adapter Card
To install a PCI adapter card in the riser card assembly:
Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page x and the “Safety Guidelines” section
on page 2-2.
Step 2 Power down the appliance and all external devices. Disconnect the AC power cord or DC power source
and all external cables.
Step 3 Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and connect its cord to the ESD socket on the top, left-hand
side on the front of the appliance.
Step 4 Remove the appliance cover. For instructions, see the “Removing the Cover” section on page 4-3.
Step 5 Disconnect any cables attached to any adapter cards.
Step 6 Remove the PCI riser assembly. For instructions, see the “Removing the PCI Riser Assembly” section
on page 4-14. Then, turn the riser adapter card assembly upside down to remove the adapter card.
Step 7 If the adapter card slot was empty before installing the new card, remove the adapter card filler panel.
Step 8 For a full-height adapter card, remove the front retention clip by loosening the blue captive thumbscrew
and rotating the clip outward (see location 2 in Figure 4-8 on page 4-15). Then, disengage the three
plastic tabs from the metal sidewall.
Step 9 With the riser card assembly upside down, slide the adapter card onto the sheet metal and attach it to the
appropriate riser card connector. Be sure that the adapter card edge connector is seated in the riser card
connector correctly.
Step 10 Fasten the adapter card to the riser card assembly bracket using the rear retention screw (see location 1
or 4 in Figure 4-8 on page 4-15) and, for full-height cards, by also replacing the front retention clip and
tightening the captive thumbscrew. (See location 2 in Figure 4-8 on page 4-15.)
Step 11 Install the PCI riser assembly into the appliance. For instructions, see the “Installing the PCI Riser
Assembly” section on page 4-17 on this page.
Step 12 Install the appliance cover. For instructions, see the “Installing the Cover” section on page 4-20.
Step 13 Plug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable or DC power source into the appliance.
