Note: At this time, the Linux operating system does not support use of the PCI hot-plug
(PHP) feature. If you are running Linux, your system must be turned off before installing
or removing PCI boards. Windows 2000 requires drivers that are PHP-compatible in
order to use the PHP feature.
1. Remove the add-in board from its protective wrapper. Be careful not to touch the
components or gold edge connectors. Place the board component-side up on an
antistatic surface.
2. Record the serial number of the add-in board in your equipment log. See
"Equipment Log" on page 84.
3. Make sure that the slot is powered off. Power off the add-in board through the PCI
hot-plug application on your system, or by pressing the HW push-button.
4. Set jumpers or switches on the board according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. If necessary, remove and save the expansion slot cover.
6. Hold the add-in board by its top edge or upper corners. Firmly press it into an
expansion slot on the baseboard. The tapered foot of the board-retaining bracket
must fit into the mating slot in the expansion slot frame. Install a PCI board
component-side down.
7. If there is a front and rear hot-plug retention mechanism, engage it.
8. Use the screw removed earlier to fasten the new board to the chassis. Tighten the
screw firmly (6.0 inch-pounds).
9. Attach cables if necessary.
10. Power on the add-in board through the PCI hot-plug application on your system, or
by pressing the HW push-button.
