Before installing a PCIe adapter on the system board, touch the static-protective package that contains the
new PCIe adapter to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the new PCIe adapter out
of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
Notes:
• Depending on the specific type, your PCIe adapter might look different from the illustration in this topic.
• Use any documentation that comes with the PCIe adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this topic.

Step 1. Locate the PCIe slot 4. If the slot is covered with a slot bracket, open the retention latch and
remove the slot bracket from the chassis. Store the bracket for future use.
Step 2. If the new PCIe adapter is installed with a full-height bracket, replace the full-height bracket with
the low-profile bracket by doing the following:
a. Carefully remove the screws that secure the PCIe adapter and then remove the full-height
bracket from the PCIe adapter.
b. Note the orientation and align the screw holes in the low-profile bracket with the
corresponding holes in the PCIe adapter. Then, install the screws to secure the bracket to the
PCIe adapter.
Step 3. Position the PCIe adapter near the PCIe slot. Then, carefully press the PCIe adapter straight into
the slot until it is securely seated and its bracket also is secured by the chassis.
