Setup of Optional PCI Board

IMPORTANT:
To enable the fault-tolerant feature of the optional device, the identical PCI boards must be
installed to the slots with the same number in CPU/IO module 0 and CPU/IO module 1.
The BIOS settings need to be modified when mounting some optional PCI boards. To change
the BIOS settings, start the BIOS setup utility to change the [OS Boot Monitoring]
configuration in [Server] – [Monitoring Configuration]. See page 4-24 for more details.
For the supported connecting devices, contact NEC Corporation of America's Technical
