Removing and Replacing PCI Cards
The server may contain up to 2 PCI cards. PCI cards are located on the PCI I/O riser assembly.
WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered-down and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing a PCI card.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow
ESD safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
Carefully read the following information concerning PCI slot configuration. Inserting a PCI card
into a slot that is not configured to accept it, may cause operation failure or the PCI card to operate
at less than optimum speed. PCI slots are numbered 1 and 2. See the labels on the rear panel of
the chassis for correct PCI slot number identification.
The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 through 2:
• Slot 1 (top) is a single, full size PCI slot that runs at 133MHz 64 bit.
• Slot 2 (bottom) is a single, half-size PCI slot that runs at 133Mhz 64 bit.
Removing a PCI Card
To remove a PCI card from the server, perform the following steps:
CAUTION: Record the location of all PCI cards as they are installed. Depending on the operating
system, replacing the PCI card in a different location might cause boot failure.
1. Remove the cover. See “Removing and Replacing the Cover” (page 30).
2. Disconnect any cables that are connected to the PCI card.
3. Release the PCI I/O riser by turning the jackscrew. This action frees the PCI I/O riser from
the system board.
