Installing Accessory Boards

The HP Server has eight hot swap PCI board slots and two non-hot swap PCI board slots.
Expansion slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots to maintain the
electromagnetic emission characteristics of the server and to ensure proper cooling of the
system. The following procedures detail the steps required to install both types of boards.

Installing a Hot Swap PCI Board

The HP Server has eight hot plug PCI I/O slots in the I/O Baseboard. You can
replace a hot plug PCI I/O board without shutting down the server. However, you
must use the operating system or a resident GUI to shut down or power off the
PCI I/O board before you replace it.
The PCI hot-plug (PHP) is a rotating plastic mechanism that actuates a switch
located on the PCI hot plug LED board. Each PCI slot has four indicator LEDs:
two on the outside and two on the inside of the system. The LEDs operate
differently depending upon the operating system installed. Please refer to your
operating system's manual.
To install a hot swap hot plug PCI I/O board, complete the following steps:
1. If your server is operating, use your operating system or GUI application to
make sure the PCI slot that you are installing the board into is powered
down.
WARNING Make sure that the rack is anchored securely, so it will not tip
when the server chassis is extended.
