PCI Card Carrier
Each PCI card is mounted on a carrier so that you can slide the cards into and out of the
brick. This carrier supports most PCI cards; it can be adjusted to accommodate cards of
different sizes. (To learn how to adjust a carrier, see “Adding or Replacing a PCI or PCI-X
Card” on page 136.)
When the PX-brick is shipped, any card that was ordered is installed with a carrier, and
any unoccupied slot is populated with an empty carrier. A carrier must be present in an
unpopulated slot to maintain an even airflow through the brick and to protect against
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
