Note: The AGP Pro slot and PCI slot 1 must be empty for you to install a video
adapter in the mini-PCI Type III slot. Install the video adapter before
installing an optional PCI adapter.
Complete the following steps to replace the video adapter in the mini-PCI type III
slot of your server:
1. Review “Safety information” on page 131 and “Installation guidelines” on page
37
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices.
3. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables.
4. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 41).
5. Temporarily remove any adapters installed in PCI slot 1 (see “Installing an
adapter” on page 46). Temporarily store these adapters in a static-protective
location.
6. Locate the mini-PCI slot on the system board. Check the instructions that
come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling
instructions. It might be easier to route any cables before you install the
adapter.
