Installing or Removing PCI Boards

80
The deskside systems support six optional PCI/PCI-X boards. The base I/O board
always occupies the top available PCI/PCI-X slot. 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 32.
Note: If you have not already done so, prepare your system for service. Refer to
"Preparing the System for Service" on page 44. 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 81
• "Removing a PCI Board" on page 84
Note: All of the figures in these sections depict systems with an optional second graphics
card installed in the unit.
