installing eXpansion Cards

This outlines the procedure for adding expansion cards to your ServerBoard. Remember to

read the documentation for your expansion cards and make the necessary hardware and

software setting changes (i.e. jumper settings).

The ServerBoard features 2 PCI-X (64-bit, 133Mhz) slots, 2 PCI-64 (64-bit, 66MHz) slots,

and 2 PCI-32 (32-bit, 33MHz) slots to accomodate PCI expansion cards.

1. Remove the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. Keep the bracket for

possible future use.

2. Insert the PCI card into the correct slot on the serverboard, pushing down with

your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.

3. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.

assigned irQs and eXpansion Cards

An IRQ number is automatically assigned to PCI expansion cards. In the PCI bus design, the

BIOS automatically assigns an IRQ to a PCI slot that contains a card requiring an IRQ.The

system will automatically assign an INTA # to the IRQ routing table, but you can manually

conﬁgure IRQ routing in the PCI Conﬁguration submenu in the BIOS setup.

If necessary to install a PCI card, you should set the jumpers on your PCI cards to INTA.

The following details the IRQ priorities by PCI device:

PCI Device IDSEL IRQ

PCI-32 Slot 4 AD20 INT A, B, C, D

PCI-32 Slot 5 AD21 INT B, C, D, A

VGA Rage XL AD22 INT C

PCI-64 Slot 2 Go_A_AD17 Go_A_INT B, C, D, A

PCI-64 Slot 3 Go_A_AD18 Go_A_INT C, D,, A, B

BCM570x_1 Go_A_AD19 Go_A_INT D

BCM570x_2 Go_A_AD20 Go_A_INT D

PCI-X Slot 0 Go_B_AD17 Go_B_INT B, C, D, A

PCI-X Slot 1 Go_B_AD18 Go_B_ INT C, D, A, B

WARNING

Completely power OFF your power supply when adding or removing any expansion cards

or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your

serverboard and expansion cards.
