5-6 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI slots
The 7045A-3 can support six PCI expansion cards (one PCI-Express x16 slot, one
PCI-Express x4 slot, two 64-bit 133/100 MHz PCI-X slots, one 64-bit 100 MHz slot
and one 32-bit 33MHz PCI slot).
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.
