Installing Accessory Boards

Introduction

The HP Server has ten I/O expansion slots available. PCI slots P1-P2 are 64-bit/33 MHz non-Hot
Plug I/O expansion slots. PCI slots P3-P10 are 64-bit/66 MHz PCI Hot Plug I/O expansion slots . The
PCI expansion slots are contained in four PCI segments:
•
F16, 0 provides for PCI slots 1 and 2, video, and the PXB that controls the Super I/O
functions.
•
F16, 1 provides for PCI slots 3 through 5 and the dual-channel LVDS controller.
•
F16, 2 provides for slots 6 through 8.
•
F16, 3 provides for slots 9 and 10.

Tools Required

•
Phillips screwdriver (cross-head with #2 bit)
•
Jumper removal tool or needle-nosed pliers
•
An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes a static-

Accessory Board Installation Guidelines

The following sections provide the guidelines necessary to install the PCI accessory boards into the
HP Server.

IRQ Settings

The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and don't require user intervention. The HP Server uses
the Plug-and-Play feature of the PCI boards to correctly assign its resources automatically.
Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA
70) Class 2 or limited power source limits and must use appropriate
interconnecting cabling in accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All
Hewlett-Packard boards comply with Class 2.)
