Installing and removing PCI expansion cards
Caution
Always operate your server with the PCI
riser assembly in place. The PCI riser
assembly is important for correct airflow
within the server. Operating the server
without the PCI riser assembly in place
could result in overheating and possible
data loss or equipment damage.
The system board provides one 280-pin PCI-X/PCI-E x8 expansion slot and one
PCI-E x8 expansion slot. The PCI-X/PCI-E x8 expansion slot (on the left side when
viewed from the front of the server) can support one PCI-X 100MHz or one PCI-E
x8 using the riser card. The PCI-E expansion slot (on the right side when viewed
from the front of the server) can support one PCI-E x8 using the riser card. The
riser card comes with the system package.
