This chapter 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.  
Many servers are capable of providing energy levels that are considered hazardous and 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 removing 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 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.

Overview  
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.  
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized
