5-6 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI slots
The X7DBE+/X7DB8+ has six PCI expansion slots, which includes two x8 PCI-
Express slots, one x4 PCI-Express slot, two 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slots and one
64-bit 100 MHz PCI-X slot. On the X7DB8+, the 100 MHz PCI-X slot supports Zero
Channel RAID (ZCR).
2. PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into a slot that supports
the speed of the card (see step 1, above). After gaining access to the inside of the
server, determine which slot you wish to populate, then press down on the curved
section at the top of the blue tab for that slot. While pressing down, lift the tab to
unlock the shield. Insert the expansion card into the correct slot on the serverboard,
pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Lock the card
into place by pressing down on the tab. Follow this procedure when adding a card
to other slots.
