Installing the Expansion Board
Use the following procedures for installing an expansion board:
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of damage to your system or expansion boards,
remove all AC power cords before installing or removing expansion boards.
When the front panel power switch is in the Off position, auxiliary power is still
connected to the PCI expansion slot and may damage the card.
1. Power down the server. See “Powering Down the Server” earlier in this
chapter.
2. Remove the access panel. See “Removing the Access Panel” earlier in
this chapter.
3. Remove the PCI riser board assembly. See “Removing the PCI Riser
Board Assembly” earlier in this chapter.
4. Remove the expansion slot cover. See “Removing the Expansion Slot
Cover” earlier in this chapter.
5. Insert an expansion board into the expansion slot by aligning the
expansion board with the guiding groove and sliding the expansion
board into the slot until the board seats firmly.

IMPORTANT: If the expansion board ships with an ISA extender bracket, remove it from
the expansion board before inserting the board into the PCI riser board assembly.
