Setup Of Optional Pci Board - NEC Express5800/340Hb-R N8800-047F User Manual

8-16 Option

SETUP OF OPTIONAL PCI BOARD

IMPORTANT:
NEC recommends that you request a maintenance engineer of your service representative
having the expert knowledge on the server to setup an option PCI board.
To enable the fault-tolerant feature of the optional device, the identical PCI boards must be
installed to the same slots in groups 1 and 2, respectively.
An SMM board is already installed to PCI slot #1 of PCI module as standard configuration.
This board may not be removed or replaced with any other board.
For some optional PCI boards you may need to change the BIOS settings. Start the BIOS
setup utility and select [Stratus] → [Monitoring Configuration] → [Boot Monitoring
Time-out Period] to change the settings. For more details, see Chapter 4.
Notes on installing option PCI board
The PCI bus of expansion PCI module can operate at 66MHz (max). However, if an option
PCI board operating only at 33MHz is installed in expansion PCI module, all PCI boards in
the expansion PCI module operate at 33MHz.
To make a PCI bus of expansion PCI module operate at 66MHz, install the PCI boards
operating at 66MHz in every slot. If you want to connect an option PCI board operating at
33MHz, connect it to PCI module.
