5-7 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI slots
The H8SMi-2 has several PCI expansion slots. The PCI-Express x16 slot may be
populated with the use of the CSE-RR1U-E16 riser card, which is included with the
system.
2. PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure it is supported by the riser card (see
step 1, above). Begin by pulling the locking tab downward to unlock the bracket
that covers the slot, then remove the bracket. Insert the add-on card into the riser
card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. When the
card is correctly installed, fi nish by pushing the locking tab upward to secure the
card in the system.
Note: the PCI slot shield helps promote proper airlow in the chassis and shield the
inside of the system from EMI (electromagnetic interference). For these reasons,
make sure there is a shield covering the slot if unused.
