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 100MHz/PCI-E x8 expansion slot
and one PCI-E expansion slot. One PCI-X 100MHz/PCI-E x8 expansion slot can
support one PCI-X 100MHz and two PCI-E x8 slots with x4 speed using the riser
card and one PCI-E expansion slot can support two PCI-E x8 slots with x4 speed
using the riser card. The riser card comes with the system package.
