CAUTION
Tun off and unplug the server before removing the server’s cover. Failure to do so could endanger you and may damage the adapter or server.
Adapter Server

Remove the cover bracket from a PCle slot. PCle slots and adapters vary in the number of connectors present, depending on the data lanes being supported.
Insert the adapter in an available, compatible PCle slot. Push the adapter into the slot until the adapter is firmly seated. The adapter can be installed in a x8 or x16 mechanical PCle slot.
Connect Fibre Channel devices by inserting a Fibre Channel cable from the devices to the connectors on the Celerity FC host adapter until you hear a click.
CAUTION Pele adapters may have a short connector.
Excessive force could break the connector.
Use caution when pressing the board into the slot.
Repeat steps 2 through 3 for each adapter you want to install.
Replace the server cover and plug in the power cord. Turn the power on.
