2-4 Jumpers and Connectors
Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the add-on card, a jumper can be used to choose between
optional settings. A jumper creates shorts between two pins to change the function
of the connector. Pin 1 is identied with a square solder pad on the printed circuit
board. See the add-on card layout on page 2-2 for the jumper locations.
Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open"
means the jumper is o󰀨 the pins.

Installation
3-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To avoid dam-
aging your add-on card, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally su󰀩cient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the add-on card from the
antistatic bag.
• Handle the add-on card by its edges only; do not touch its components.
• Put the add-on card back into the antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the add-on card.
Unpacking
The add-on card is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking your component or system, make sure you are static protected.
Note: To avoid damaging your components and to ensure proper instal-
lation, always connect the power cord last, and always unplug it before
adding, removing or changing any hardware components.

3-2 Before Installation
Before you install the add-on card, follow the instructions below.
1. Power down the system.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Use industry-standard anti-static equipment such as gloves or a wrist strap
and follow the precautions on page 3-1 to avoid damage caused by ESD.
4. Familiarize yourself with the server, motherboard, and/or chassis documenta-
tion.
5. Conrm that your operating system includes the latest updates and hotxes.
3-3 Installing the Add-on Card
Follow the steps below to install the add-on card into your system.
1. Remove the server cover and, if any, set aside any screws for later use.
2. Remove the add-on card slot cover. If the slot cover has a screw, place it
aside for later use.
3. Position the add-on card in front of the SIOM slot and gently push in both
sides of the card until it slides into the slot.

Note: This add-on card does not support hot plug. Please turn o󰀨 the AC
power and remove the power cord from the wall socket before you install
or remove the add-on card.

Chapter 3: Installation
3-4 Installing the Add-on Card (Internal)
Follow this step to install the add-on card if your system does not support a swap-
pable bracket. Insert the SIOM card in the motherboard and then install the moth-
erboard in the chassis. An internal bracket comes with the SIOM card 1U chassis
SKU. It needs to be installed onto the chassis.
4. Secure the add-on card to the chassis. If required, use the screw that you
previously removed.
5. Attach any necessary external cables to the add-on card.
6. Replace the system cover.
7. Plug in the power cord and power up the system.
