Pci Board - NEC Express 5800 User Manual

PCI BOARD

Up to three PCI boards can be installed to the PCI module (however, one video board is already
installed in each module in standard configuration).
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" described earlier.
Make sure to read "Anti-static Measures" and "Preparing Your System for Upgrade" before
starting installing or removing options.
PCI#1 is a slot dedicated for video board, which is standard equipment. Do not replace this
broad with any other board.
TIPS:
When a PCI board is installed or removed, or the slot is changed, use the BIOS setup
utility "SETUP" to change the detailed settings such as interrupt line (IRQ), when necessary. See
Appendix B for details.
PCI#2
PCI#3
Note the following to install or replace PCI board.
To add a PCI board, the system must be shut down.
To make a dual PCI board configuration, install the same type of board (i.e., having the same
specifications and performance) to the same slot in another group.
When a PCI board is installed to one group, another identical PCI board should be installed to
the same slot in another group. This rule is applied to the case of removal.
Install the PCI boards, starting from the one with the smallest number.
