Adding PCI Cards
1.
PCI slots:
The X6DA8-G2 has has six PCI expansion slots, which includes one
x16@4GB/sec PCI-Express slot, one x4@2GB/sec PCI-Express slot, three
64-bit PCI-X slots (one 64-bit PCI-X 133 slot, one PCI-X 100 slot, one PCI-X
100MHz ZCR slot) and one 32-bit 33MHz PCI slot (w/PCI graphics card
support).
2.
PCI card installation:
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into a slot that
supports the speed of the card (see step 1, above). Begin by removing the
screw from the I/O backpanel shield that corresponds to the slot you wish to
populate. Insert the PCI card into the correct slot on the serverboard,
pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by
securing the card to the chassis with the same screw you removed from the
I/O shield. Follow this procedure when adding a card to other slots.
