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, high 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 powered. 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 that may be provided for the purpose of guarding 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 HP 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 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 may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
•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.

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.
