Notes

Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.
Do not touch the terminals and the leads of electronic components with your bare hand. Fingerprints and
dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or damage to the leads.
The type of the connectable PCI card depends on the location of the PCI slot. Check the card type
before connecting it to the PCI slot.
The server provides no connector to connect an LED connector of RAID controller.
Assigned PCI slot numbers are #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 from left to right when viewed from the rear . If only
one processor is installed, PCI slot #1 is unavailable.
The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
PCI#3 → PCI#2 → PCI#4 → PCI#5 → PCI#1
Bus number, device number and function number of PCI devices are as follows:
If an additional LAN card is installed, it is hard to push the catch of the connector with your finger that is
connected to the LAN card. Disconnect the connector pushing the catch with a standard screwdriver. At
this time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN card or any other card.
If a bootable device such as a PCI card or USB device is added, the boot order is changed.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select HDD Priorities from Boot menu and confirm the boot order.
If an HDD under an optional RAID controller is connected, the boot device is (Bus xx Dev 00) PCI
RAID Adapter. Note that the value for xx changes depending on the PCI slot where the RAID controller
is installed.
Enable the option ROM scan of BIOS settings when starting the OS on a RAID controller, LAN card
(network booting), or Fibre Channel controller. See Chapter 2 (1. System BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide"
for how to specify it.
