This completes the XIO board removal. To install a new board, see "Installing an XIO
Board" on page 83. To return the workstation to service, see "Returning the Workstation
to Service" on page 57.
The 2- and 4-processor workstations can support as many as eight PCI/PCI-X boards.
The 1-processor workstation supports as many as four PCI/PCI-X boards. The IO9 board
always occupies one PCI-X slot, leaving seven available slots in 2- and 4-processor
workstations and three available slots in 1-processor workstations. These instructions
assume that you know the correct bus and slot you need to install the PCI board in. For
more information about PCI board placement rules and configurations, refer to "PCI
Buses" on page 38.
Note: If you have not already done so, prepare your system for service. Refer to
"Preparing the Workstation for Service" on page 49. In order to install or remove a PCI
board, you must remove the left side panel.
This section provides instructions for the following procedures:
• "Installing a PCI Board" on page 89
• "Removing a PCI Board" on page 92
Note: All of the figures in these sections depict 2- or 4-processor workstations. PCI buses
3 and 4 are not present in 1-processor workstations.
