Adding PCI Cards

1. PCI slots

6014H-8: Included riser cards support the use of one standard PCI-X card

of any speed and one low-profile PCI-X card of any speed. Alternatively,

optional riser cards (sold separately) may be added to support the use of

one x8 PCI-Express card and one x4 PCI-Express card (see below).

6014H-82: Included riser cards support the use of one standard PCI-X

card (of 100 or 66 MHz) and one low-profile PCI-X card of any speed.

Alternatively, optional riser cards (sold separately) may be added to

support the use of two x8 PCI-Express cards.

The 6014H-X8 has two 133 MHz PCI-X slots. Two PCI-X cards of either

speed (one standard size and one low-profile) may be installed for use

with the included (standard) riser cards.

2. PCI card installation

Before installing a PCI add-on card, locate the PCI riser card mentioned in

Step 1. Begin by swinging out the release tab for the PCI slot you wish

to populate. Fully seat the PCI card into the riser card by pushing down

with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by pushing

the release tab back to its original (locked) position. Follow this proce-

dure when adding a card to the other slot.

The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI

and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering

each unused PCI slot.

*Use of the CSE-RR1U-ELP riser card requires a slight repositioning of the

release tab mechanism on the low-profile slot: Remove the screw from the

release tab mechanism and slide the mechanism to the left. Then secure it

with the same screw but in the upper hole (see page 6-2 for diagram).
