Installing a Non-Hot-Plug Expansion Board

CAUTION: To avoid risk of damage to the system or expansion boards, remove all
AC power cords before installing or removing non-hot-plug expansion boards. With
the front panel Power On/Standby button in the standby position, auxiliary power is
still connected to the expansion slots and may damage the board.
To install an expansion board in a non-hot-plug PCI-X expansion slot:
1. Power down the server. Refer to "Powering Down the Server" in Chapter 5,
"Installing Hardware Options."
2. Extend the server from the rack. Refer to "Extending the Server from the Rack"
in Chapter 5, "Installing Hardware Options."
3. Remove the access panels. Refer to "Opening and Removing the Access Panels"
in Chapter 5, "Installing Hardware Options."
4. Identify the PCI-X expansion slot you want to populate. Slots 1 and 2 are the
non-hot-plug slots.
