Replacing a SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 adapter

Perform the following steps to replace an adapter assembly:

Attention: Do not touch the components and gold-edge connectors of the adapter. When you install the adapter, ensure that it is correctly seated in the connector before you turn on the node. Adapters that are seated incorrectly might cause damage to the system board, the riser card for slot 1, or the adapter.
  1. If you are installing a new adapter, remove it from its static-protective package.
  2. Hold the adapter by its top edge or upper corners and align it with the connector. Support the riser card and press the adapter fully into the connector.
  3. Pivot the expansion-slot clip (number three or number four in Figure 1) toward the adapter and press it into place.
