Installing PCI Add-in Board(s)

CAUTION

You may want to install an operating system before installing any add-in boards.

Do not overload the server board by installing add-in boards that draw excessive current.

Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After

removing the board from its protective wrapper, place it component side up on a grounded, static-

free surface. Do not slide the board over any surface.

When installing a full-length add-in card, you must install the PCI card retainer for full-length card.

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book.

2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.

3. Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Chassis Cover”.

4. Remove the airduct if it is installed.

5. Remove the PCI slot shield (see letter A) by pushing from the shield out from inside the chassis.
