2.8.2 Installing a long expansion card
If you wish to install a long expansion card, such as some types of RAID
cards, you need to remove the lower hot swap drive cage and install an
internal (non-hot swap) drive cage with long card guides that keep the
expansion cards firmly seated on the slots.
1. The internal drive cage is optional and separately purchased. See
section “Chapter 3 Optional components” for instructions on
installing the drive cage.
2. The AS4 (4-SCSI configuration) and AI4 (4-IDE configuration)
models support long expansion cards.
To install a long expansion card:
1. Remove the plastic card lock opposite the slot where you wish to install
the expansion card. Release the card lock by pressing the center tabs
and pushing outward. Set the card lock aside for later use.
2. Tilt the long card as shown while
aligning the metal bracket with the
slot opening on the rear panel.
