5-6 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI Expansion Slots
The X7DBX-i/X7DBX-8 has two Universal PCI slots. The left slot supports one
PCI-Express x8 card or one 133 MHz PCI-X card. The right slot supports one
PCI-Express x4 card or one 100 MHz PCI-X card. An additional PCI-Express x8
slot is provided in the JPCIE3 slot. The SC819TQ-700/SC819S-700 chassis can
support the use of three standard size (full-height, full-length) expansion cards and
one low-profi le expansion card (with pre-installed riser cards).
2. PCI Card Installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you power off the system fi rst.
Begin by removing the top chassis cover. Three riser cards should be pre-installed
into the system. Two additional riser cards included in the accessory box may be
substituted as shown below (and designated 'optional'). Remove the screws that
secure the riser cards to the rear of the chassis then lift the riser card assembly
from the chassis. Insert the PCI card into the riser card slot, pushing down with
your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card - note that the add-on card attaches
to the riser card with a single screw. After the card has been installed, reinsert the
riser card back into the expansion slot on the board, then secure it with the same
screws you removed previously. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.
