Installing I/O Cards
To install an I/O card into your workstation, follow these steps.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to I/O cards, observe all of the ESD precautions as
described in the "Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions" on page 9.
NOTE
The built-in V
referred to as slot 0. Use the secondary graphics slot (slot 1) for the highest
performance graphics card and PCI slot 2 for the second graphics card and
then any of the remaining 32 bit slots for the third PCI graphics card.
1. Open the left side panel of the workstation as explained in the section "Opening the
Left Side Panel" in this chapter.
2. Locate the appropriate slot for the I/O card that is to be installed. See Figure 2-10.
3. Remove the T-15 Torx screw and remove the bulkhead blank of the slot you have
chosen. If no blank is present, you may skip to step four.
4. Pull downward in the direction of the arrow on both PULL tabs of the I/O card retainer
to remove it. See Figure 2-14.
5. Insert the I/O card into the slot you have chosen with the bulkhead appropriately
positioned. See Figure 2-15. If the card is full length, the non-bulkhead end of the card
should be placed in the I/O card guide. Press firmly and evenly on the I/O card until it is
in the connector. Secure the I/O card to the bulkhead with the T-15 Torx screw.
6. Replace the I/O card retainer by placing the bottom retainer hook in the slot on the air
divider and the clips on the PULL tabs into their slots on the chassis wall. See Figure
2-14.
7. Close the left side panel of the workstation by following the procedure "Closing the Left
Side Panel" on page 17.
NOTE
If you connect a monitor to a graphics card, you will need to change the
console path. See Chapter 5, "The Boot Console Interface" in the B2000
