There are several different types of adapters you can install, depending on which
slots are available. The following information and illustration identify which types
of adapters you can install in PCI slots 1 and 2 and where these slots are
located on the system board:
– Slot 1: You can install only a PCI-X low-profile adapter into slot 1.
– Slot 2: You can install any PCI-X or PCI-Express adapter into slot 2.
Note: For the PCI-Express adapter, you must install an optional riser card on
the system board.
The following illustration shows the location of, and access to, the riser card
retention latches for the slot 1 and 2 riser cards.

When the server starts (boots), it starts the system devices in the following order,
if you have not changed the default boot precedence:
– Integrated Ethernet controllers
– Integrated SCSI controller
– PCI-X slot 1
– PCI-X or PCI-Express slot 2
Complete the following steps to install an adapter:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 13.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables. Remove the server cover (see “Removing the server cover”
on page 17).
3. Follow the cabling instructions, if any come with the adapter. Route the adapter
cables before you install the adapter. See “System-board cable channels” on
page 9 for cable routing information.
4. Determine which slot you want to use for the adapter, either slot 1 for a
low-profile adapter or slot 2 for any type of adapter. See the previous illustration
for the locations of slot 1 and slot 2 on the system board.
If you are installing a low-profile adapter, continue with “Installing a low-profile
adapter into adapter slot 1” on page 19. If you are installing an adapter in slot 2, go
to “Installing an adapter into adapter slot 2” on page 20.
