Installation procedure Installation overview 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. Many servers are capable of providing energy levels that are considered hazardous and are intended to be serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these hazards.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them. 2. Locate the PCIe bus expansion slots, and select the slot that you want to use. (For more information, see the server documentation.) 3. Depending on the server model, remove the retaining screw or open the expansion slot latch that secures the PCIe slot. 4. Remove the slot cover and save it.
