Expansion Card Setup in UIO/WIO Model Chassis
The configuration of the expansion cards in UIO/WIO models will vary, depending
upon if a Universal I/O card or WIO card is used:
With a UIO card:
Up to three full-height, half-length I/O may be used
Up to three low-profile PCI slots may be used.
With a WIO card:
Up to four full-height, half-length PCI slots may be used
Up to three low-profile PCI slots may be used.
Installing an Expansion Card in a UIO/WIO Model Chassis
1. Confirm that each add on card you are installing includes a standard "L"
bracket. If this is the first expansion card, start by locating the riser card
bracket in your chassis accessory bag and one or two riser cards, which are
purchased sepa rately. One riser card accommodates the full-height expansion
cards and the other accommodates the three low profile expansion cards.
2. Power down the system and remove the power cords from the rear of the
power supplies as described in Section 5-2. Remove the chassis cover as
described in Section 5-3.
3. Attach the riser card(s) to the riser card bracket using screws. Note that there
are different cards for the right and left side of the bracket.
4. Insert the riser card(s) into the motherboard expansion slot(s) while aligning
the riser card bracket with the rear of the chassis. Secure the bracket with
screws (Figure 5-13).
5. Rotate the latch on the left side of the PCI slot (A) to remove the PCI slot
cover.
6. Remove the two screws and the retention bracket securing the right side of
the PCI slot covers (B) and remove the "L" bracket for WIO chassis. For UIO
chassis, rotate the latch to remove the chassis "L" bracket.
7. Insert each expansion card into the PCI slot using the card's L bracket.
8. Secure each expansion card in its PCI slot by closing the PCI slot latch, or
reinstall the retention bracket.
