Offline Installation Of A Pci Card - HP AB464-9003F Service Manual

Slots 7 and 8 are nonshared slots. The maximum speed for cards in slots 7 and 8 is PCI-X
133 MHz.
Slots 9 and 10 are shared slots. These two slots are limited by bus mode or frequency-related
incompatibilities.
IMPORTANT:
configuration limitations as slots 9 and 10 on the PCI/PCI-X/ I/O backplane.
Table 22 lists the PCI/PCI-X card slot frequency and bus mode compatibility for shared slots.

The conditions described in this table apply only to shared slots 7, 8, 9, and 10. Slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are not shared
slots.
2
Compatible: card is accepted and runs at the frequency shown.
3
Incompatible-frequency: card does not work. The new card does not initialize and powers down due to frequency
mismatch.
4
Incompatible bus: Card does not work. The new card does not initialize and powers down due to bus mode mismatch.

Offline Installation of a PCI Card

Ensure that you install the proper drivers for PCI/PCI-X/PCIe cards after you complete the server
installation and power on the server.
To install a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card with the power off, follow these steps:
1. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See
(page 45).
2. Select an empty slot that is appropriate for the card you are installing. To locate an appropriate
slot, see
3. Open the MRL.
a. Press the indentation on the MRL to release it from the chassis wall.
b. Lift the edge of the MRL and rotate it upward 90 degrees until it rests against the chassis
wall and the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card bulkhead filler is fully exposed.
4. Remove the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe bulkhead filler.
