PCI Card

The server is equipped with five slots for PCI card.

1.11.1 Notes

Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.

Do not touch the terminals of the PCI 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:
#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.
Slot3  Slot2  Slot4  Slot5  Slot1

Bus number, device number and function number of PCI devices are as follows:
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 card or USB device is added, the boot order is changed.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select Hard Drive BBS Priorities from the Boot menu, and then specify a higher
priority for the boot device.
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.

When an HDD under a RAID controller, LAN adapter (network booting), or Fibre Channel controller is not
a bootable disk, disable the option ROM scan of BIOS settings. See Chapter 3 (2. System BIOS Setup)
for how to specify it.
Important You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For
details, see Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).
