PCI Expansion Card Installation
Three standard size PCI expansion (add-on) cards may be installed in the system.
Installing PCI Expansion Cards
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure it is supported by the card slot on the
motherboard.
Begin by removing power from the system as described in section 3.1.
1. Remove the chassis cover to access the inside of the system.
2. Remove the PCI slot shield on the chassis by releasing the locking tab.
3. Insert the expansion (add-on) card into the appropriate PCI slot on the motherboard.
DIMM Installation
1. Insert DIMM modules in the following order: P1-DIMMA1, P1-DIMMD1, P1-DIMMB1,
DIMME1. (DIMMA2 and D2 are reserved for Apache Pass memory. Standard memory
can be populated in DIMMA2 and D2 but will result in decreased performance.) For the
system to work properly, please use memory modules of the same type and speed.
2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
3. Align the key of the DIMM module with the receptive point on the memory slot.
4. Align the notches on both ends of the module against the receptive points on the ends
of the slot.
5. Use two thumbs together to press the notches on both ends of the module straight
down into the slot until the module snaps into place.
6. Press the release tabs to the lock positions to secure the DIMM module into the slot.
DIMM Removal
Reverse the steps above to remove the DIMM modules from the motherboard.
