Install Expansion Board (Optional)

The StorTrends 2104 NAS server supports two (2) PCI expansion cards. There is one (1)
available 64bit/133MHz PCI-X slot and one (1) available 64bit/33MHz PCI slot. Both
slots support full-height, half-length cards.
Step Action
1 To access the expansion card section of the chassis, you must first remove the chassis lid. To remove the
chassis lid, loosen the spring-loaded retaining thumbscrew that secures the lid of the chassis. The retaining
thumbscrew is located on the back of the chassis. Slide the lid towards the rear of the chassis and lift it up
and off.
2 Locate the PCI riser board. Remove the expansion board plastic retaining clip.
3 Remove the metal expansion bay cover from the slot you want to use. The 64bit/33MHz PCI slot is on the
top and the 64bit/133MHz PCI-X slot is on the bottom.
4 Plug your expansion board into the correct PCI slot. Make sure that the expansion board is fully seated
and that the riser board is also fully seated into the motherboard.
5 Slide the expansion board plastic retaining clip back into its original position, securing the expansion
board into the slot. For more instructions on installing your expansion board, see the expansion board's
installation instructions.
6 Replace the chassis lid by first aligning the chassis lid tabs with the notches on the chassis. Place the
chassis lid down and slide the lid towards the front until it snaps into place. Tighten the retaining
thumbscrew.
