9-46 Upgrading Your Server
PCI BOARD
The server has a riser card assembly on the mother board that allows the installation of PCI boards. The riser card assembly
can accomodate up to two PCI boards.
Insert PCI boards for network extension and file device function extension into PCI board slots in each riser card.
IMPORTANT:
The PCI board is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch the metal frame of
the server to discharge static electricity from your body before handling the PCI board. Do not
touch the PCI board terminals or on-board parts by a bare hand or place the PCI board directly
on the desk. For static notes, see the section "Anti-static Measures".
Some restrictions are imposed on the combination of PCI boards which can be installed in the
server. Contact your service representative for details.
A riser card is designed for installing only low-profile PCI boards or full-height PCI boards.
Before installing a PCI board, make sure of the card specification.
If the SCSI controller, RAID controller, LAN board (for network boot), or Fibre Channel
controller is not connected with the hard disk drive that contains the operating system, be sure
to disable Option ROM for that board. See Chapter 4 for details.
