7-38 Upgrading Your Server

PCI Board

The server has two "riser cards" on the system board that enables installation of PCI boards.

Three PCI boards can be installed on each riser card. (Up to six PCI boards can be installed in

total.)

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 sales agent 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.

NOTE:

Some PCI boards use an on-board expanded ROM. See the

manual provided with the PCI board to determine whether expanded

ROM needs to be loaded. Use the BIOS setup utility "SETUP" for the

setting. For details, see Chapter 3.
