Pci Board - NEC N8800-096F User Manual

8-32 System Upgrade

PCI BOARD

Up to three PCI boards can be installed to the CPU/IO module. The 320Fb-M model is used in the
example quoted here. However steps you should take are the same for other models.
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 onboard parts by a bare hand or place the PCI board directly
on the desk. For more information on static electricity, see "ANTI-STATIC MEASURES" on
page 8-3.
Make sure to read "ANTI-STATIC MEASURES" and "PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM FOR
UPGRADE" before starting installing or removing options.
Note the following to install or replace PCI board.
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.
