9-30 Upgrading Your Server

PCI Board

The server has two "riser cards" on the mother board that enable installation of PCI boards. Three
PCI boards can be installed on each riser card. (Up to six PCI boards can be installed in total.)
Insert PCI boards for network extension and file device function extension into PCI board slots in
each riser card.
IMPORTANT:
The PCI board is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure
to touch the metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity
from your body before handling the PCI board. Do not touch the
PCI board terminals or on-board parts by a bare hand or place the
PCI board directly on the desk. For static notes, see the section
"Anti-static Measures".
Some restrictions are imposed on the combination of PCI boards
which can be installed in the server. Contact your service
representative for details.
A riser card is designed for installing only low-profile PCI boards or
full-height PCI boards. Before installing a PCI board, make sure of
the card specification.
Disable the option ROM (such as BIOS utility startup) for the PCI
slot if the SCSI controller, disk array controller, LAN board
(network booting), or FibreChannel controller has no hard disk
drive containing an OS connected. See Chapter 4 for details.
