WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

Installing a PCI Card

Note – If you are installing a full-length PCI card and you also want to install a DVD-ROM drive, install the DVD-ROM drive first (see Section 4.4, “Installing and
Removing a DVD or CD-ROM Drive” on page 4-7). Otherwise, when you install the DVD-ROM drive, you will have to remove the PCI card that you have installed.

To install a PCI card into the server, do the following:
1. Remove the top cover. Make sure you wear an antistatic wrist strap and disconnect all power cables.

2. Remove the filler panel protecting the PCI connector.

3. Loosen the captive screw holding the PCI slot’s retention bracket in place. Rotate the retention bracket through 90 degrees. This releases the
filler panel in the PCI slot, enabling you to remove the filler panel. Remove it.

4. If you are installing a full-length PCI card, slide the PCI card retainer off the PCI slide support rail on the system board.

5. Insert the PCI card firmly into the PCI connector making sure that the PCI card’s bracket is correctly positioned against the rear of the chassis.
The tapered end of the bracket must be inside the small metal tab designed for it on the chassis.

6. Slide the PCI card retainer into a position at the back of the PCI card to prevent excessive flexing of the board. If you are installing a full-length PCI card, insert the back end of the card into the groove in the plastic bracket; this provides extra support.

7. Reposition and tighten the rotating retention bracket to secure the PCI card to the chassis.

8. Replace the server’s cover and tighten the captive screw.
