Adding PCI Cards
1.
PCI slots:
The X5DPR-8G2+ has one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot for a full-length
(standard) PCI card and one slim 64-bit 66 MHz PCI slot. The 64-bit 133
MHz PCI-X slot should have a butterfly riser card installed, which can
accept one standard sized PCI card and one low profile PCI card (see
Figures 5-6a and 5-6b).
2.
PCI card installation:
Before installing a PCI add-on card, see step 1, above. Begin by swing-
ing the release tab on the I/O backpanel shield out to the left for the PCI
slot. Insert the PCI card into the correct slot on the butterfly riser card
(depending on whether it is a standard or low-profile card), pushing
down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by
pushing the release tab back to its original (locked) position. Follow this
procedure when adding a card to either slot.
