Note
Expansion slots 1 and 2 are a shared slot. A shared
slot can be used by an adapter installed in either the
PCI connector or the adjacent ISA connector, but not
both.
The server comes with a video controller. This video
controller is an integrated component on the system board.
It is
not in an expansion slot. The integrated video
controller has super video graphics array (SVGA)
technology.
The integrated video controller is not removable. If you
want to disable this controller and use a video adapter
instead, you can install a video adapter in an expansion
slot. When you install a video adapter, the server BIOS
automatically disables the integrated video controller.
Attention
To avoid possible damage to adapters and server
components, be sure that the adapters you install do
not touch each other or the other components (such
as the microprocessor) inside the server.
Installing or removing adapters:
This section
gives the procedure for installing an adapter. If you want
to remove an adapter, reverse the following steps.
Before you begin
Ÿ
Read “Safety information” on page 176.
Ÿ
Read the documentation that comes with the
option.
1. Review the instructions that come with the adapter to
determine if the adapter must be installed in a certain
slot; otherwise, use any available, bus-compatible
slot.
Note
If you install a video adapter, the server
automatically disables the video controller on the
system board. IBM recommends that the video
be installed in slot 5.
