Removing an adapter
To remove an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 79.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices; then, disconnect all external
cables and power cords.
3. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 81).
4. Remove the support bracket (see “Removing the support bracket” on page 83.
5. For full-length adapters, rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open
(unlocked) position and remove it from the computer. Rotate the front
adapter-retention bracket to the open position. If you are replacing a smaller
adapter, remove only the rear adapter-retention bracket.
6. Disconnect the cables from the adapter that you are replacing and remove the
adapter from the computer. Place the adapter on a static-protective surface;
then, store it in a safe place.
Replacing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the computer supports and
other information that you must consider when removing and installing an adapter.
See “System-board option connectors” on page 6 for an illustration of the adapter
slot locations.
v Read the documentation that comes with the operating system.
v
Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you need to change
the switch or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come
with the adapter.
v
The computer comes with adapter connectors or slots . The video adapter is
installed in the PCI Express x16 slot.
v
The computer supports PCI-X adapters, 3.3 V PCI adapters, and universal PCI
adapters.
v
None of the PCI-X slots are hot-plug slots.
v You can install 64-bit or 32-bit adapters in PCI-X slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
v
You can install full-length adapters in PCI-X slots 1, 3, 4, and 5; PCI-X slot 2
supports two-third length adapters.
Note: If you install the 3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm 800 video adapter in the PCI
Express x16 slot, it will overlap slot 4. Therefore, you will not be able to install an
adapter in slot 4.
v
If you install a ServeRAID 6i+ adapter, it must be installed in slot 3.
v
The computer scans the PCI Express x16 slot and PCI-X expansion slots to
assign system resources. Then, it starts the PCI devices in the following order, if
you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express x16 slot; PCI-X
expansion slot 1; system-board integrated drive electronics (IDE), Serial ATA
(SATA), or small computer system interface (SCSI) devices; and then PCI-X slots
2 through 5.
v
