5-6 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI slots:
The P4DPR-iG2 has a 64-bit 133/100 MHz PCI-X slot that can accommo-
date a standard PCI card and a slim 64-bit 66 MHz PCI-X slot that can
accommodate a low-profile PCI card with the two provided riser cards
(see Figures 5-6a and 5-6b).
2. PCI card installation:
Before installing a PCI add-on card, see step 1, above. Begin by swing-
ing the release tab on the I/O backpanel shield out to the left for the PCI
slot. Insert the PCI card into the slot on the riser card, pushing down
with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by pushing
the release tab back to its original (locked) position. Follow this proce-
dure when adding a card to either rider card.
