4. If the slot contains a factory-installed filler panel, remove the filler panel before

installing the adapter.

Refer to the system’s documentation for instructions on how to remove the filler
panel. Typically, you will need to loosen the filler panel’s captive screws before
removing the panel from the system.

5. Remove the adapter from its antistatic envelope and place it on an ESD mat (if

available) near the system.

If an ESD mat is not available, you can place the adapter on the antistatic envelope it
was packaged in.

Before installing the adapter in the system, you will need to open the adapter’s
ejection levers (see

FIGURE 3-1

).

6. With the adapter resting on the mat, press the levers outward to open the ejection

levers.

The adapter may contain different types of ejection levers. For example,

shows two possible types of levers. The levers may also contain a locking
mechanism that must be unlocked before you can open the levers.
