Preparing the system for operation after you install a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer

Learn how to prepare the system for operation after you install a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer.

1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.
2. Choose from the following options:
   • If you do not plan to immediately connect the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to a server, continue with 3.
   • If you plan to connect the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to a server, you need to ensure that you have the PCIe3 cable adapter installed in your server and then connect the server to your EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer. For instructions, see:
     • Installing a PCIe adapter and select the appropriate model
     • Connecting an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to your system
3. Put the cable management bracket in the operating position. See Figure 1.
   1. Pull the quarter-turn fasteners (B) out and turn them to disengage them while moving the cable management bracket (A) to its lower position (2).
   2. Turn the quarter-turn fasteners (B) to engage and lock the bracket into position.
