Technician notes
Warnings, cautions, and notes
WARNING:
Only authorized technicians trained by Hewlett Packard Enterprise should attempt to repair this
equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/modulelevel repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should
attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board.
Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, personal injury, and damage to the equipment:
• Do not attempt to service any parts of the equipment other than those specified in the following
procedure. Any other activities may require that you shut down the server and remove the power
cord.
• Installation and maintenance of this product must be performed by individuals who are
knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions and hazards associated with the product.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay
particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
This symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is
CAUTION:
To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of clearance at the front and
back of the server.
CAUTION:
The server is designed to be electrically grounded (earthed). To ensure proper operation, plug the AC
power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
contacted, the potential for injury exists.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool
before touching.
NOTE:
Any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications might void any
warranty.

Installing an adapter
Installation overview
This section describes installation precautions, how to install the adapter, and how to connect the network
cable.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety information and
user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation.
Some servers contain high energy circuits, high current circuits, moving parts (such as fan blades), or
any combination of these hazards, that may be exposed if covers and access panels are removed while
the product is connected to a power source. These products are intended to be serviced only by
qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these hazards. Do not remove enclosures or
attempt to bypass any interlocks designed to guard against these hazardous conditions.
WARNING:
Installation of this adapter should be performed by individuals who are both qualified in the servicing of
computer equipment, and trained in the hazards associated with products capable of producing
hazardous energy levels. This adapter is intended to be installed in Certified (UL or CSA) ITE equipment
having instructions for adding and removing user installed components such as PCI, PCI-X, and PCI
Express devices. Refer to the equipment instructions to verify that it is suitable for user installed
components and that it has the power capacity to support all of the installed components.
NOTE: Before removing the cover of your server, refer to the HPE documentation for the proper
methods for installing a PCI Express card and avoiding electric shock hazards.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or
handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or
other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
Procedure
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Installing an adapter
For additional information on how to safely install a PCI Express card in the server, see the server
documentation.
8 Installing an adapter
Procedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Remove the power cord and server access panel.
3. Identify the PCIe expansion slot in which the adapter is to be installed. If a low-profile option slot is to be
4. Remove the expansion slot cover from the PCI Express slot.
5. Firmly seat the adapter in the PCI Express slot. Figure 1: Adapter and PCI Express slot on page 9
CAUTION:
If the server is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power it down and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet before removing the server access panel. Failure to do so may damage the adapter or
server.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from a hot component, allow the surface of the option card to
cool before touching it.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.

NOTE:
For 1U type servers you may need to replace the standard profile bracket with a low-profile bracket.
For information about installing a low-profile bracket, see Installing a low-profile bracket.
6. Install the access panel, and then connect the power cord.
Installing an adapter 9
Installing a low-profile bracket
You might have to install a low-profile bracket to complete the product installation. The low-profile bracket
replaces the existing standard profile bracket shipped on the product.
To install a low-profile bracket:
Procedure
1. With a correctly sized slotted screwdriver, carefully remove the two board lock screws located at the top
and bottom of the connector.
2. Remove the standard profile bracket, and then place the low-profile bracket over the connector.
3. Be careful not to damage the connector or bind the low-profile bracket to the connector.
Connecting the network cable
To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port. Ensure that the tab on the plug clicks into
position indicating that it is properly seated. For more information, see
UTP cable specifications.

Electrostatic discharge recommendations
CAUTION:
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of
the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps
are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when
standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install
the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.
