5-6 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI Expansion Slots
Two riser cards are used to support add-on cards to the system. The SC815TQ-
R560U chassis can accommodate one standard size (full height full length) and one
low profi le PCI expansion card. When viewed from the chassis front, the standard
size card installs to the left and the low-profi le card installs to the right side.
PCI cards are installed into riser cards that have been pre-installed to the system.
An additional two riser cards are included to support PCI-E add-on cards. See
confi guration list below.
2. PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into the correct riser
card. Begin by releasing the locking tab that corresponds to the slot you wish to
populate. Insert the expansion card into the correct riser card, pushing down with
your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.

(*Notes: i. DIMM slot# specified: DIMM slot to be populated; “---“: DIMM slot not
to be populated. ii. Both FBD 533 MHz and 667MHz DIMMs are supported;
however, you need to use the memory modules of the same speed and of the
same type on a motherboard. iii. Interleaved memory is supported when pairs
of DIMM modules are installed. For best performance, please install memory
modules in both Branch 0 and Branch 1. iv. For memory to work properly, you
need to follow the restrictions listed above. )
