Step 14. Conﬁrm the location of the card slot where the new PCI card will be

installed.

At this point, all attention and power indicators (LEDs) for the card slot

are visible. The light bars on the card slot’s divider should indicate that

the slot is powered off and its attention LED is ﬂashing.

Each slot divider corresponds to the PCI card slot to its immediate right

(when viewing the I/O chassis by facing the card slots with the top up).

Step 15. On HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, ﬂip the card slot latch to its open

position.

When open, the latch is parallel to the back edge of the chassis.

Step 16. Place the new card in the slot.

Slide the card in the slot, and ensure it is properly aligned. Press ﬁrmly

on the card until it is fully seated in the card slot.

Step 17. On HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, ﬂip the card slot latch to its closed

position.

When closed, the latch is parallel to the card slot divider.

If the latch will not close, the card might not be completely seated in its

slot. In this situation, you can either press ﬁrmly on the card until it is

seated, or lift the slot divider to release the card and then realign and

reseat the card.

Step 18. Connect all cables to the new card to establish the desired conﬁguration.

Step 19. Replace the top of the I/O chassis, and restore all front covers and bezels

to their original locations.

Replace the I/O chassis cover and ﬁrmly push it back into place before

tightening all thumb screws.

Also, as needed, carefully slide all racked equipment back into place

before replacing any additional covers and bezels. Close any cabinet or

rack doors.

Step 20. In the SAM or Partition Manager Insert Card window, click the OK button.

Clicking OK indicates that the new card has been installed.
