Working with adapters
The computer has three PCI adapter connectors or slots and one AGP adapter slot.
The AGP video adapter is installed in the AGP slot. All PCI slots are 32-bit, 33 MHz
slots.
See “System board” on page 43 for the location of the expansion slots on the
system board.
Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions provided in this chapter. If you need to
change switch or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v You can install low-profile adapters in all three PCI slots.
v The computer supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3
V adapters.
v The computer uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters.
Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently
do not support PCI interrupt sharing.
v
PCI slots 1 through 3 are on PCI bus 0.
The system scans the AGP slot and PCI expansion slots 1 through 3 to assign
system resources; then, the system starts the PCI devices in the following order:
PCI expansion slots 1 and 2, system board integrated drive electronics (IDE) or
SCSI devices, and then PCI expansion slot 3.

Installing an adapter
Complete the following steps to install an adapter in the IntelliStation E Pro Type
6216 computer.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see
“Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 132.
1. Review the information in “Safety information” on page 129.
2. Turn off the computer and attached devices.
3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the cover (see
“Removing the cover of the 6216” on page 45).
4. Determine which PCI slot you will use for the adapter.
Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements,
restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route cables
before you install the adapter.
5. Rotate each drive bay cage until the drive cage latches catch the front of the
computer chassis.
6. Lift the frame-support bracket (see “Removing the frame-support bracket” on
page 45).
7. Rotate the rear adapter-support bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the computer.
