v
When you install any PCI adapter, the power cords must be disconnected from
the power source before you remove the PCI Express riser-card assembly and
the PCI-X riser-card assembly. Otherwise, the active power management event
signal will be disabled by the system-board logic, and the Wake on LAN feature
might not work. However, after the server is powered-on locally, the active power
manager active power management event signal will be enabled by the
system-board logic.
v
If you switch the PCI adapter from slot 1 riser assembly to slot 2, you will need to
remove the screw from the standard bracket and then replace the standard
bracket with the low-profile bracket.
v The server provides two PCI riser-card slots on the system board. Each slot
comes with a PCI riser assembly with a bracket installed. The following
information describes the PCI riser-card slots and the type of adapters that the
riser cards support:
– Standard models of the server come with two PCI Express riser-card
assemblies installed. If you want to replace them with PCI-X riser-card
assemblies, you must order the PCI-X riser-card assembly option, which
includes the bracket.
– A PCI Express riser-card assembly has a black connector and supports PCI
Express adapters, and a PCI-X riser-card assembly has a white (light in color)
connector and supports PCI-X adapters.
– PCI riser slot 1 (the farthest slot from the power supplies). This slot supports
only low-profile adapters.
– PCI riser slot 2 (the closest slot to the power supplies). This slot supports only
full-height, half-length adapters.
The following table lists the supported configurations for the PCI riser-card slot.

To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
Notes:
1. The instructions in this section apply to any PCI adapter (for example, video
graphics adapters or network adapters).
2. Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at
75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution that is supported for
any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
