Cisco Content Engine 511 and 566 Hardware Installation Guide
OL-5756-01
Before you install adapters, review the following:
• The Content Engine comes with two Peripheral Component
Interconnect-Extended (PCI-X) adapter slots. PCI-X slot 1 is located on the
adapter support bracket with the riser card. PCI-X slot 2 is located on the
system board. To access the PCI-X slot 1 connector, you must first remove
the adapter support bracket. (See Figure 4-4.)
– You can install either a Fibre Channel adapter or an MPEG A/V decoder
adapter in PCI-X slot 1. (This slot is labeled “PCI 1” on the back of the
Content Engine.)
– The CE-566 has a SCSI adapter installed in PCI-X slot 2 (PCI 2). This
adapter is not user-replaceable.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
• The system scans PCI-X slots to assign system resources. By default the
system tries to boot from the CD-ROM. If the CD-ROM is not present, the
system boots from the integrated flash device.
Caution When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from
static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see the “Protecting
Against Electrostatic Discharge” section on page 2-6.
