3.5.2.2 Adding or Replacing a PCI Card
The following procedure describes how to add or replace a PCI card.
Note – Before installing or replacing a PCI card, refer to the following guidelines:
If you are using the onboard NICs and one PCI card, install the PCI card in the right
(full-length) slot, looking from the front of the server. On the back panel, this is slot
PCI 0; refer to
FIGURE 1-2.
If you are using the onboard NICs and two PCI cards, install the faster PCI card in
the right (full-length) slot and the slower card in the left (half-length) slot (PCI 1 on
the back panel). If you are not using the onboard NICs, install a half-length card in
the left (half-length) slot and a full-length card in the right (full-length) slot.
1. Power off the server, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the
server from the electrical outlet.
Refer to “Powering Off the Server and Removing the Cover” on page 3-2.
