PCI Card
This server provides a riser card (2 types) and a slot for RAID controller. The riser card can connect three Full
Height PCI card, two Low Profile PCI card. A slot for RAID Controller can contain one RAID Controller. (The
server can have six PCI cards in total.)
1.18.1 Notes
Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.
•
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.
•
Available type of PCI card depends on riser card. Make sure the card type before connecting it to riser
card.
•
The server provides no connector to connect a LED connector which is supplied in RAID Controller
used to indicate disk access.
•
PCI slot number "1A" is assigned to the RAID controller slot,"1B, 2B, 3C" are assigned to the riser card
for Full Height PCI cards, "1C, 2C" are assigned to the riser card for Low Profile PCI cards, and "1D" is
assigned to LAN Riser Card slot.
•
The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
Slot 1A (dedicated to RAID Controller) → Slot 1B (Full height card slot) → Slot 2B (Full height card slot)
→ Slot 1C (Low profile card slot) → Slot 2C (Low profile card slot) → Slot 3C (Full height card slot) →
Slot 1D (dedicated to LAN riser card)
•
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
RAID-dedicated slot 1A
PCI slot 1B (Full height)
PCI slot 2B (Full height)
PCI slot 2B (N8116-26)
PCI slot 1C (Low Profile)
PCI slot 2C (Low Profile)
PCI slot 3C (Full height)
LAN riser card-dedicated slot 1D
•
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 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.
