9-30 Upgrading Your Server
Notes
Observe the following notes on installing/removing a PCI board:
Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with
your bare hand. Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a
connection failure or damage to the leads.
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.
The system searches for the PCI board in the following order:
PCI Slot 1C → 2C → 3C → 1B → 2B → 3B
The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in
different order from that described above, depending on OS or disk array BIOS utility.
Check the slot location of PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function
number shown in the table below.
Onboard NIC1
Onboard NIC2
Slot 1C
Slot 2C
Slot 3C
Onboard SCSI Ch A
(backup file/ext.)
Onboard SCSI Ch B
(HDD)
Slot 1B
Slot 2B
Slot 3B
* The bus number may be 4 or greater depending on the board installed in Slot 1C,
2C, or 3C.
Set "Disabled" for the optional ROM of a LAN device not to be booted by using the BIOS
SETUP utility.
If an additional LAN device is installed in slot 3C or 3B, it is hard to push the catch of the
connector with your finger that is connected to the LAN port. Disconnect the connector
pushing the catch with a standard screwdriver. At this time, be very careful for the
screwdriver not to damage the LAN port or other ports.
If a bootable PCI board (e.g., a disk array controller, SCSI controller, or LAN card) is
additionally installed, the boot priority is changed to the default. After the additional
installation, start the BIOS SETUP utility, select [Boot] → [Boot Device Priority], and set
the new boot priority.
If an option operating with only 33 MHz is installed in one of the slots (1C, 2C, and 3C,
or 1B, 2B, and 3B) on a PCI riser card, the options installed in the other slots of the same
riser card are subjected to operation with only 33 MHz.
Contact your service representative for the acceptable optional PCI board.
