PCI Card
Either two or four PCI cards can be installed to the CPU/IO module.
Important The PCI card is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch the metal
frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body before handling the
PCI card. Do not touch the PCI card terminals or onboard parts by a bare hand or
place the PCI card directly on the desk.
Refer to
Chapter 2 (5.1.2 Anti-static measures)
and
Chapter 2 (5.1.4 Preparing your
system for upgrade)
before starting installing or removing options.
5.7.1
Precautions
Note the following to install or replace PCI card.
•
To make a dual PCI card configuration, install the same type of board (i.e., having the same specifications
and performance) to the same slot for each group.
When a PCI card is installed to one group, another identical PCI card should be installed to the same slot in
another group. This rule is applied to the case of removal.
