Adding PCI Cards

1.
64-bit PCI slot:
The X5DLR-8G2 system board has one 64-bit 133 MHz slot. The 6023L-
8R includes an active riser card (part number CSE-RR2U-LE) solution that
enables the use of three full-sized PCI cards.
2.
64-bit PCI card installation:
The system should be powered down when adding or removing PCI
cards. Begin by removing the top cover of the chassis. You will see a
metal enclosure that houses the riser card. Remove this housing by
lifting the two plastic levers at either end and pulling the housing up and
out of the chassis. The riser card is attached to the inside top of the
housing. The riser card has three slots - you can change the frequency
settings of slots PCI-X #2 and #3 with jumpers S1 and P1, respectively,
which are located on the riser card. The default setting is PCI-X 100
MHz. A table for the S1/P1 jumper settings has been silk-screened on
the riser card. The speed of PCI-X #1 is set with jumpers P2 and JP4 on
the motherboard (see Section 5-11).
Release the latch that secures the PCI slot I/O shields to the housing by
pulling it away from the housing. Remove the shield(s) and insert a PCI
card(s) into the desired slot(s) on the riser card, pushing down with your
thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. After all cards have been
added, push the latch back into position. Replace the housing in the
motherboard making sure the plastic levers properly catch on the chassis,
then push them down to lock the housing in place. Finish by replacing
the top chassis cover and powering up the system. Note: The PCI slot I/
O shields protect the motherboard and its components from EMI and aid in
proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering each
slot. Also, do not use the riser card included with the 6023L-8R with
any other system board and do not use any other riser card in the
6023L-8R
