9-56 Upgrading Your Server
Notes
Observe the following notes on installing/removing a PCI board:
„
Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with your bare hand.
Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or damage to the leads.
„
A riser card is designed for installing only low-profile PCI boards or full-height PCI boards. Before installing a PCI
board, make sure of the card specification.
„
The mother board is not equipped with a connector for LED relay cable.
„
The system searches for the PCI board in the following order:
When the standard riser card or the riser card (5V PCI-X) is installed:
PCI Slot 2B
→
3B
→
1C
→
2C
→
3C
When the riser card (PCI-X) is installed:
PCI Slot 3B
→
2B
→
1C
→
2C
→
3C
„
The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order from that
described above, depending on OS or RAID System BIOS Utility. Check the slot location of PCI device by PCI bus
number, device number and function number shown in the table below.
Bus number Device number Function number
Onboard NIC1 1h 0 0
Onboard NIC2 1h 0 1
Slot 1C 40h 0 X
Slot 2C 50h 0 X
Slot 3C 70h 0 X
Slot 2B 10h* 9 X
Slot 3B 30h* 0 X
Slot 2B 30h 0 X
Slot 3B 11h 1 X
Slot 2B 11h 1 X
Slot 3B 11h 2 X
Slot dedicated to RAID 60h 0 X
* On certain PCI devices, other bus number may be assigned..
„
Set "Disabled" for the optional ROM of a LAN device not to be booted by using the BIOS SETUP utility.
„
If an additional LAN device is installed in slot 3C or 3B, it is hard to push the catch of the connector with your finger
that is connected to the LAN port. Disconnect the connector pushing the catch with a standard screwdriver. At this
time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN port or other ports.
„
If a bootable PCI board (e.g., a RAID Controller, SCSI controller, or LAN card) is additionally installed, the boot
priority is changed to the default. After the additional installation, start the BIOS SETUP utility, select the [Boot]
menu, and set the new boot priority.
„
If an option operating with only 33 MHz is installed in one of the slots (1C, 2C, and 3C, or 2B, and 3B) on a PCI
riser card, the options installed in the other slots of the same riser card are subjected to operation with only 33 MHz.
„
Contact your service representative for the acceptable optional PCI board.
Installation
Take the following steps to install a PCI board on the riser card:
IMPORTANT:
„
Each riser card supports low-profile or full-height PCI boards. Before installing a PCI board,
confirm that the type of the PCI board.
„
When installing a PCI board, confirm that the card connector matches the connector of the riser
card.
