Installing Peripherals
Peripherals and add-in cards are not included in your system and must
be purchased separately. The following sections describe how to install
PCI add-in cards, hard disk drives, a DVD/CD-ROM drive/floppy disk
drive, and a tape drive.
Installing a PCI Card on a Riser Card
The riser card nearest the chassis sidewall (see "Installing the Riser
Cards on the Server Board" on page 36, B) supports three Low Profile
(LP) PCI add-in cards. The riser card on the chassis centerline (see
"Installing the Riser Cards on the Server Board" on page 36, A)
supports three full-length, full-height PCI add-in cards or three LP cards
(an LP card must be equipped with a standard full-height PCI mounting
bracket).
PCI add-in cards must be installed on a riser card while the riser card is
removed from the chassis. If you do not have PCI cards to install,
proceed to "Installing the Riser Cards on the Server Board" on page 36.
Note: If you install a NIC in the top slot of either the low profile
riser or full height riser, you may encounter difficulty removing
network cables connected to the card.
1
Open the retainer clip (See both figures below, A) and remove the
desired filler panel from the rear retention bracket (B) of the riser
card.
Note: If your full-length card has a card guide attached to the end
opposite the metal bracket, remove the guide.
2
Insert the edge connector of the PCI card into the desired slot of
the riser card (D) while inserting the end of the card's metal
bracket in opening (C).
Note: If you are installing a full-length card, insert the end
opposite the metal bracket into the full-length card lock.
