Replacement

Enterprise™ PCI I/O board and for the replacement of parts mounted on the board.

The PCI card voltage rating must be matched to the voltage rating of the riser card.
Consult your Sun sales representative for the PCI cards supported for your
particular system configuration.

boards are shipped with two 5.0V riser cards (installed) and two 3.3V riser cards (not
installed). If you are switching to a 3.3V PCI card, you must replace the installed
5.0V riser card with the 3.3V riser card.
