6 SR2400 PCI-X Riser Card Add-in Card Population Rules
Description In order to maintain signal integrity of the PCI-X buses on the Intel Server Board
SE7520JR2, add-in card population rules must be followed when using the Low
Profile PCI-X Riser card and the Full Height PCI-X (Passive) Riser card for the
Intel Server Chassis SR2400. When using either of these two riser cards, add-in
cards must be populated starting with the top PCI slot for a single add-in card.
Additional cards should then be populated using the next open slot down from
the top.
Implication If the add-in card population rules for the Low Profile PCI-X and Full Height PCI-
X (passive) riser card are not followed, the system BIOS will display an error
message during boot up, and will halt POST until the add-in cards are configured
properly.
Workaround There is no workaround for the add-in card population rules when using the Low
Profile PCI-X and Full Height PCI-X (passive) riser cards of the Server Chassis
SR2400 with the Server Board SE7520JR2. However, the other two full height
riser cards available for ths platform, PCI-X (Active) and PCI-E, do not require
specific population rules.
