The conditions described in this table apply only to shared slots (slots 3 and 4 on bus number 2, slots 5 and 6 on bus
number 3). Slots 7 and 8 are not shared slots.
2
Compatible: card is accepted and runs at the frequency shown.
3
Incompatible frequency: card does not work.
4
Incompatible bus: Card does not work. The new card does not initialize and powers off.
5
Maximum bus mode and frequency supported on shared slots is PCI-X 66 MHz.
Hot-Plug Procedures
The hot-plug procedures described in this section use the hardware interface only. Software
interface procedures are described in
IMPORTANT:
Before adding or replacing a PCI/PCI-X card, determine whether that card is
critical to the server operation. If you replace a card that is still operating and it is a critical
resource to the server, you can cause undesired system downtime.
OLA
Before installing a PCI/PCI-X card, ensure that the proper drivers for that PCI/PCI-X card are
installed.
NOTE:
If you are installing the Graphics Kit A6150B, use slots 3-8. However, DO NOT install
the included USB card. The server currently supports USB and the ports are already located on
the rear of the server.
If you are installing the RAID card A7143A, you must install it into slot 8. If you install this card
in any other slot, it interferes with the manual retention latch (MRL) on the OLX divider in the
next slot. Because of this interference, you can install only two RAID cards in the server in slot
1 and slot 8.
To add a PCI/PCI-X card into an empty slot, follow these steps:
1.
If rack-mounted, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. See
2.
Remove the top cover from the chassis. (See
“Removing the Top Cover” (page 65)
3.
Choose an empty slot and pull up on the MRL located on the OLX divider approximately
75 degrees. (
