WARNING Ensure that the server is powered-down and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing a PCI card.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in
the off position.
Failure to observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
Carefully read the following information concerning PCI slot configuration. Inserting a PCI card into a slot
that is not configured to accept it, may cause operation failure or the PCI card to operate at less than
optimum speed. PCI slots are numbered 1 (top of cage) through 4 (bottom of cage). See the labels on the rear
panel of the chassis for correct PCI slot number identification.
