PC Server 520 - Type 5 adapter supported

Applicable to: World-Wide

Type 5 Adapter Installation (Type 8641, Models MZ0, MZV, MZS, MZE, MZL):
The PC Server Type 8641 (Models MZ0, MZV, MZS, MZE, MZL) supports type 5 Adapters in Micro Channel expansion slots 5 and 6. However, because Type 5 adapters are longer and wider than standard Micro Channel adapters, the adapter support bracket must be repositioned.

Note:
If the server was shipped with a PeerMaster adapter installed, the bracket has already been repositioned.

1. Remove the fan assembly:
a. Disconnect the three fan assembly cables from the power supply.

Attention;
To avoid damage and ensure proper server operation, handle the fan assembly carefully.

b. Remove the two screws that hold the fan assembly in place.
c. Remove the fan assembly by pulling it up and out.

2. Press the raised area in the middle of the bracket; then, press the bracket toward the rear of the server and lift out. You might need a screwdriver to release the bracket from the server.

3. Reposition the card guides on the adapter support bracket:
a. Lift the tabs on the top of the top card guide to release it from the bracket.
b. Align the card guide tabs with the slots closest to the front of the bracket. The card guide will extend beyond the bracket.
c. Hook the tabs on the bottom edge of the card guide on the flange on the back of the bracket; then press the card guide forward until it snaps into place.
4. Holding the bracket at an angle, insert the tabs on the back of the card guide into the slots closer to the front of the server.
5. Press the bracket to the right until it snaps into place.

6. Carefully reinstall the fan assembly with the two screws that you removed in step 1b.

7. Reconnect the fan assembly cables.
