8-30 System Upgrade
PCI BOARD
Either two or four PCI boards can be installed to the CPU/IO module.
IMPORTANT:
„ The PCI board is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch the metal
frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body before handling the PCI
board. Do not touch the PCI board terminals or onboard parts by a bare hand or place the
PCI board directly on the desk. For more information on static electricity, see
“ANTI-STATIC MEASURES” on page 8-3.
„
Make sure to read “ANTI-STATIC MEASURES” and “PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM
FOR UPGRADE.”
Note the following to install or replace PCI board.
„ Some PCI boards need to be duplexed. To make a dual PCI board configuration, install the
same type of board (i.e., having the same specifications and performance) to the same slot for
each group.
When a PCI board is installed to one group, another identical PCI board should be installed to
the same slot in another group. This rule is applied to the case of removal.
