HP Visualize J5000 - Workstation Handbook page 111

Refer to the PCI slot label for the proper insertion location on the I/O board. The slot
numbers and voltage are identified on the I/O board.
The following are configuration guidelines for installing I/O cards in the J5000 or
J7000:
• Put graphics cards into slot 7 first and slot 4 second. A graphics card can be added to
any slot that physically has room once slots 7 and 4 are used.
Note, however, that slots 7 and 4 may be used for very high-bandwidth, general I/O
cards when not needed for graphics.
• Put I/O cards into slot 2 first, slot 8 second, slot 3 third, slot 5 fourth, and slot 6 fifth.
• Do not put any I/O card into slot 1, as that slot is reserved for power only.
CAUTION The J5000 and J7000 workstations supply about 264 Watts of power to the
PCI slots. Do not insert I/O cards that together draw more than 264 Watts, or
damage to the workstation may result.
NOTE If you install three HP V
the HP V
imposed on the remaining I/O slots. Each of these graphics cards, while
electrically connected to only one I/O slot, takes the physical space of two
slots, and each card draws about 78 Watts. So, three of these graphics cards
will occupy six of the eight I/O slots and will draw 234 Watts altogether,
leaving only about 30 Watts for the remaining two slots combined, should
those two slots be used.
5. If a filler plate is installed in the I/O slot on the rear panel of the workstation, remove
the screw that secures the filler plate and remove the filler plate. Save the screw for
securing the I/O card you will install, and save the filler plate for later use.
6. Insert the I/O card in the card guides and press the card firmly and evenly into the I/O
slot connector until the I/O card is fully seated in the slot.
To avoid damage to the connector, do not rock the I/O card from side to side

during insertion.
7. Secure the I/O card with the filler panel screw to the I/O slot on the rear panel of the
workstation.
8. Replace the PCI retainer clip.
9. Replace the workstation's top and right side panels.
10. After rebooting, use SAM to confirm that the I/O card is recognized by the system.
