PCI Board
The server contains seven slots for PCI Express board.
Some PCI Express boards support the hot-plug function, meaning that they may be installed or removed while the
server is powered on. Your server supports the hot-plug function if Windows Server 2003 is used as an operating system.
See the "List of Optional Devices and their Available Slots" on page 9-24 to identify the PCI boards supporting the
hot-plug function.
IMPORTANT:
touch the metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body before
handling the PCI board. Do not touch the PCI board terminals or the on-board parts with
your bare hand or place the PCI board directly on the desk. For more information on static
electricity, see the section "Anti-static Measures".
NOTES:
The tab on the PCI board slot is color-coded to indicate whether it the inserted card can,
or not, be hot-plugged. The hot-plug slots have a green tab (PCI slots #1 and #2), and
the non-hot-plug slots have a blue tab (PCI slots #3 through #7).
There are four types of PCI Express boards, x1, x4, x8, and x16. The PCI board slots of
the server can contain x1, x4, or x8 board.
