Installing an adapter

Use this information to install a adapter into the server.
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you
must consider when you install an adapter:
• To confirm that the server supports the adapter that you are installing, see
.
serverproven/
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this section.
• Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz for an LCD monitor.
This is the highest resolution that is supported for any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
• Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
• Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on video adapter is not
supported.
• The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters so that you can install PCI
adapters that do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
