Installing Additional PCI Cards

The server may contain up to 2 PCI cards. PCI cards are located on the I/O riser assembly.




	Warning! Ensure that the system is powered-down and all power sources have been disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing a PCI card. Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position. Failure to observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.




	Caution: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions could result in damage to the server.

Carefully read the following information concerning PCI slot configuration. Inserting a PCI card into a slot that is not configured to accept it may cause operation failure or the PCI card to operate at less than optimum speed. PCI slots are numbered 1 and 2. See the labels on the rear panel of the chassis for correct PCI slot number identification.

The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 through 2:

Slot 1(top) is a single, full size PCI slot that runs at 133MHz.
Slot 2 (bottom) is a single, half-size PCI slot that runs at 133MHz.

Installing a PCI Card

To install a PCI card in the server, perform the following steps:




	Caution: Record the location of all PCI cards as they are installed. Depending on the operating system, replacing the PCI card in a different location might cause boot failure.

Remove the cover.
Release the PCI I/O riser by turning the jackscrew. This action frees the PCI I/O riser from the system board.

Remove the PCI slot cover.

Figure 2-18. Removing a PCI Slot Cover
Grasp the edges of the PCI card being installed and gently press the connector into the PCI I/O riser connector.

Note: Full length PCI cards may only be installed in slot 1, the top slot of the PCI I/O riser assembly. The lower slot (slot 2) can only accept half length cards.

Figure 2-19. Installing a PCI Card
Insert the card mounting screw and secure with a T-15 driver.
Replace the PCI I/O riser assembly by positioning the connector over the mating connector on the system board and then turning the jackscrew to complete the connector mating.
Connect any cables that are required by the PCI card.
Replace the cover.
