PCI board
The server is equipped with five slots for PCI board and one slot for additional RS-232C connector kit.
Important You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For
details, refer to Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).
1.12.1 Notes
Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI board.
Do not touch the terminals of the PCI boards 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.
PCI slot numbers are assigned as follows:
COM, #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 from top. PCI slot #1 is disabled in 1-CPU configuration.
The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
Slot2
Slot3
Slot5
Slot4
Slot1
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 Configuration Utility. Check the slot location of
PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in the table below.

If an additional LAN adaptor is installed, it is hard to push the catch of the connector with your finger
that is connected to the LAN adapter. Disconnect the connector pushing the catch with a standard
screwdriver. At this time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN adapter.
If a bootable device such as a PCI board or USB device is added, the boot order may change.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select
Hard Drive BBS Priorities
from the
Boot
menu, and then specify a higher
priority for the boot device.

Check the display
If the boot device is an HDD under an optional RAID Controller, the display is
(Bus

Dev 00) PCI
RAID Adapter
. Note that the value for
xx
changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID board is
installed.
For a RAID Controller, LAN adapter (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if no hard disk drive on
which an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to
Disabled
. Refer to
Chapter 3
(2. Detail of System BIOS)
for how to specify it.
