PCI Card
This server provides a riser card for PCI card and a slot for RAID controller. The riser card can connect one
Full Height PCI card, one Low Profile PCI card and one RAID controller (total three PCI card can be
mounted).
Important You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For
details, see Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).
1.13.1
Notes
Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.
•
Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with your bare
hand. Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or
damage to the leads.
•
Available type of PCI card depends on riser card. Make sure the card type before connecting it to riser
card.
•
The server provides no connector to connect a LED connector which is supplied in RAID Controller
used to indicate disk access.
•
PCI slot number "1C" is assigned to the riser card for Low Profile PCI cards, "1B" is assigned to the
riser card for Full Height PCI cards, "1A" is assigned to the RAID controller slot, “1D” is assigned to LAN
Riser Card slot.
•
The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
Slot 1A (dedicated to RAID Controller)
→
Slot 1B (Full height card slot)
→
Slot 1C (Low profile card slot)
→
Slot 1D (dedicated to LAN riser card)
•
The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order
from that described above, depending on OS or RAID Configuration Utility. Check the slot location of
PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in the table below.

If an additional LAN card is installed, it is hard to push the catch of the connector with your finger that is
connected to the LAN card. Disconnect the connector pushing the catch with a standard screwdriver. At
this time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN card.
•
If a bootable device such as a PCI card or USB device is added, the boot order may change.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select
Hard Drive BBS Priorities
from
Boot
menu, and then specify a higher
priority for the boot device.
Boot
→
Hard Drive BBS Priorities
→
Check the display
If the boot device is an HDD under an optional RAID Controller, the display is
(Bus
xx
Dev 00) PCI
RAID Adapter
. Note that the value for
xx
changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID board is
installed.
•
For a RAID Controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if no hard disk drive on
which an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to
Disabled
. See
Chapter 2 (1.
Detail of System BIOS)
in "
Maintenance Guide
" for how to specify it.
