adapters; they do not support 5.0 V signaling adapters.
– The 32-bit PCI slot 1 and mini-PCI slot 6 (for the IEEE 1394 controller) are on
the 33 MHz PCI bus.
Note: If your computer did not come with a IEEE 1394 (FireWire) adapter
installed in mini-PCI slot 6, do not install an adapter in this slot. It is not
supported.
– The 64-bit PCI-X slots 2 and 3 and the integrated Ethernet controller are on
the 100 MHz PCI-X bus, channel A.
– The 64-bit PCI-X slots 4 and 5 and the integrated SCSI controller with RAID
capabilities are on the 100 MHz PCI bus, channel B.

1. Review the safety information beginning on page vii, "Installation guidelines" on
page 27, and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 28.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
3. Disconnect all power cords; then disconnect all external cables.
4. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 31).
5. Determine which slot you will use for the adapter. Check the instructions that
come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling
instructions. It might be easier to route cables before you install the adapter.
6. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the computer. Rotate the front adapter-retention bracket to the
open position. If you are installing a smaller adapter, remove only the rear
adapter-retention bracket.
