1. 32-bit PCI slots:
The 6021i system board has five 32-bit, 33 MHz 5V PCI slots that require
low profile PCI cards to fit inside the Supermicro SC822 chassis - see
figures 5-6a and 5-6b.
2. 32-bit PCI card installation:
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you choose the correct low
profile card for the type of PCI card you are installing (see step 1, above).
Begin by removing the I/O shield for the PCI slot. Insert the PCI 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 chassis. The I/O shield protects the motherboard and its
components from EMI (electromagnetic interference) and aids in proper
ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering each slot.
