Note To install the inline network adapter, see the Installing the Cisco WAE Inline
Network Adapter publication. The inline network adapter is supported in WAAS
4.0.7 and later software only.
Before you install adapters, review the following information:
• The device has two Peripheral Component Interconnect-Extended (PCI-X)
adapter slots:
–
PCI-X slot 1 is located on the adapter support bracket with the riser card.
To access the PCI-X slot 1 connector, you must first remove the adapter
support bracket. (See Figure 4-4.)
You can install either a Fibre Channel adapter or an MPEG A/V decoder
adapter in PCI-X slot 1. (This slot is labeled “PCI 1” on the back of the
device.)
–
PCI-X slot 2 is located on the system board and is not used in the device.
• Documentation is included with the adapter. Follow the instructions in the
adapter documentation in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
• The system scans PCI-X slots to assign system resources. By default the
system tries to boot from the CD-ROM. If the CD-ROM is not present, the
system boots from the integrated flash device.
Caution When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from
static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see the “Protecting
Against Electrostatic Discharge” section on page 2-6.
