Adding PCI Expansion Boards
CAUTION: Before installing a PCI video expansion board,
make sure the appropriate PCI slot options group is
enabled. Failure to do so might cause your server to
operate incorrectly.
Perform the following steps after installing PCI expansion boards:
1. Start the SCU using one of the three methods described in
Chapter 2, “Starting the SCU.”
2. Press [Enter] to display the SCU welcome screen and then [Enter]
again to continue.
3. From the Configure Your Computer menu, select “Step 3:
View or Edit Details”.
4. The SCU automatically scans for PCI devices and will assign
resources to them. Verify that the resources assigned (e.g., IRQ’s)
are supported by the PCI device under the operating system you
are loading onto your server.
Refer to the documentation that shipped with your PCI device.
Press [F6] to display the IRQ currently assigned and + or - to scroll
through the remaining un-assigned IRQs to select the one you
want.
NOTE: You can view IRQ, DMA, and memory assignments
at any time while you are running the SCU by pressing [F7].
The “View Additional System Information” screen displays.
Select either Used Resources or Available
Resources from this screen.
It is recommended that you run the SCU after you install a
PCI video expansion board to reallocate the onboard video.
Make sure you switch the video signal cable from the
onboard video connector to the connector on the PCI video
expansion board.
5. Select “Step 5: Save and Exit,” to save your configuration and exit
the SCU.
