GX++ card installation

To install the GX++ card, follow these steps:

  1. Carefully grasp the new adapter assembly by the plastic latches and align the adapter assembly with the slot and its connector on the system backplane.
  2. Slowly slide the adapter along the glides until it stops.
    Attention: When you install an adapter into the system, be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in its connector.
  3. Evenly rotate the latches into the locked position.
  4. Rotate the latch into the closed position to lock the adapter into the adapter slot.
  5. Replace the service access cover.
  6. From the rear of the system, replace the adapter cables and any associated mechanical brackets.
  7. Tilt the cable retention bracket to hook the tab at the top of the bracket into the slot in the assembly.
  8. Swing the cable retention bracket toward the chassis and push the bracket fastener into the chassis opening to secure the bracket.
  9. Ensure that the system cables are routed through the cable-management arm correctly.
  10. Reconnect the power source.
