PCI Card

The server is equipped with five slots for PCI card and one slot for additional RS-232C connector kit.

1.12.1 Notes

Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI board.

Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards 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.

PCI slot numbers are assigned as follows:
COM, #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 from top. PCI slot #1 is disabled in 1-CPU configuration.

The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
Slot2  Slot3  Slot5  Slot4  Slot1

The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order
from that described above, depending on OS or RAID Configuration Utility. Check the slot location of
PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in the table below.
Onboard NIC1
Onboard NIC2
Slot 1
Slot 2
Slot 3
Slot 4
Slot 5

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.

If a bootable device such as a PCI board or USB device is added, the boot order may change.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select Hard Drive BBS Priorities from the Boot menu, and then specify a higher
priority for the boot device.
Boot  Hard Drive BBS Priorities  Check the display
If the boot device is an HDD under an optional RAID Controller, the display is (Bus xx Dev 00) PCI
RAID Adapter. Note that the value for xx changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID board is
installed.

For a RAID Controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if no hard disk drive on
which an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to Disabled. Refer to Chapter 3
(2. Detail of System BIOS) for how to specify it.
