Installing Adapters
This section provides general information about the system board, riser card,
adapters, and PCI-X slot configuration specifications. Use these instructions to
install any full-height three-quarter-length PCI-X adapter card.
Note The MPEG decoder adapter is supported in ACNS software only. The inline
network adapter is supported in WAAS 4.0.7 and later software only.
Before you install adapters, review the following information:
• The adapter slots are on the riser card assembly. You must first remove the
riser card assembly to access the adapter slots. (See
Figure 4-2.)
• The device has two Peripheral Component Interconnect-Extended (PCI-X)
adapter slots:
–
PCI-X slot 1 is for one full-height three-quarter-length adapter.
–
PCI-X slot 2 is for one low-profile half-length adapter; however, it is not
used in this device.
• You must install supported adapters in PCI-X slot 1. (This slot is labeled
“Slot
1” on the back of the device.)
• Documentation is included with the adapter. Follow the instructions in the
adapter documentation in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
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.

To install an adapter, follow these steps:
Step 1 Review the safety information in the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.
