5-7 Adding PCI Cards
1. 32-bit PCI slot
The X5DPA-TGM+ has one 32-bit, 33 MHz 5V PCI slot available in the 1U
configuration. A riser card designed specifically for use in the 811 1U rackmount
chassis is included with your system and allows an installed PCI card to sit at
a 90 degree angle so it can fit inside the chassis. This riser card accommodates
one 32-bit, 33 MHz 5V PCI card (see Figure 5-6).
2. PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, locate the PCI riser card mentioned in
Step 1. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI slot you wish to populate.
Fully seat the PCI card into the riser card and screw it into the metal reten-
tion rail. Then, insert the riser card into the PCI slot on the motherboard,
pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by
using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the rear of the
chassis. The PCI slot shields protect the motherboard and its components
from EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield
covering each unused PCI slot.
