Adding an expansion card
This server has seven PCI expansion slots on the system board that may be
used for a variety of expansion cards. These cards may include a SCSI
controller card, a modem, a high-end sound card, or an additional IDE
controller card.
To add an expansion card:
1 Set any jumpers and switches on the card, if required. (See the card
instructions.)
2 Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
3 Remove the left side cover panel. (See “Removing the side cover” on
page 18 and “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 15.)
4 Locate an available slot appropriate to the type of card you are installing,
and remove the slot cover by removing the screw that secures it to the
back of the chassis.
