Installing a PCI Add-In Board in a Non-Hot-Plug Slot
CAUTION
The PCI add-in board slots located under the system board access cover are
not hot-plug slots.
To install a PCI add-in board in a non-hot-plug slot:
1. Disconnect the AC power cords from the power source or wall outlets.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server system.
3. Remove the rear access cover (page 29) and the system board access cover (page 32).
4. If necessary, remove and save the expansion slot cover.
5. Prepare the new PCI board for installation:
a. Remove the add-in board from its protective wrapper. Be careful to not
touch the components or gold edge connectors. Place the board with the
component side up on an antistatic surface.
b. Record the serial number of the new add-in board in your equipment log.
c. Set jumpers or switches according to the manufacturer instructions.
6. Open the latches on the front and rear retention mechanisms (Figure 32, A and B).
7. On the edge opposite the connectors, grasp the board by both corners. Orient the board to the
vacant slot so that the metal retention bracket is toward the rear of the chassis.
