Hardware Options Installation
IMPORTANT:
Always pair expansion boards of the same speed on the same bus for optimum
performance. If expansion boards of different speeds are installed on the same bus (for
example, 66-MHz PCI and 100-MHz PCI-X boards), the server operates both boards at the
lower frequency.
To install an expansion board:
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to equipment or loss of information, be sure that the
server is powered down, all cables are disconnected from the back of the server, and
the power cord is disconnected from the grounded (earthed) AC outlet before
removing the access panel.
1.
Remove the access panel by following the steps in the section applicable to your
tower or rack server at the beginning of this chapter.
2.
Loosen the thumbscrew of the expansion board retainer (1), then pull the retainer
out and away from the chassis (2).
