Adding PCI Cards

1. PCI slots
The H8DME-2/H8DM8-2 has six PCI expansion slots, which includes two PCI-
Express x8 slots, two 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slots and two 64-bit 100 MHz PCI-X
slots. On the H8DM8-2, one 100 MHz PCI-X slot supports Zero Channel RAID
(ZCR). The 2021M-T2R+/2021M-82R+ can support low-profi le cards in all six slots
of the serverboard.
2. PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into a slot that supports
the speed of the card (see step 1, above). After gaining access to the inside of the
server, determine which slot you wish to populate, then press down on the curved
section at the top of the blue tab for that slot. While pressing down, lift the tab to
unlock the shield. Insert the expansion card into the correct slot on the serverboard,
pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Lock the card
into place by pressing down on the tab. Follow this procedure when adding a card
to other slots.
