Adding PCI Cards
1.
PCI slots
Your system should come with one or two riser cards to acommodate the
use of one or two PCI expansion cards. The number and type of cards
supported by each server system is shown below.
6014P-8/6014P-82: supports the use of one standard size (full-height full-
length) 133 and 100 MHz PCI-X add-on cards or two PCI-Express x8 add-on
cards or a combination thereof (with a maximum of one PCI-X 133 card).
6014P-8R/6014P-8G2: supports the use of one standard size (full-height
full-length) 133 or 100 MHz PCI-X or one PCI-Express x8 add-on card.

Notes: (L) refers to left and (R) refers to right-side slots when viewed
from the front of the chassis. "Boxed" riser cards are included with the
system (in the accessory box). A PCI-X slot and a PCI-E slot together
constitute a Universal PCI slot. If both riser cards are to be used on the
6014P-8/6014P-82, you must install the right-side riser card (when viewed
from front of the system) first.

PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into the riser
card and slot that supports the speed of the card (see step 1 above -
you may need to change the installed riser card with a boxed one to
support the type of add-on card you wish to install).
Begin by swinging out the release tab on the PCI slot shield that corre-
sponds to the riser slot you wish to populate. Insert the PCI card into the
correct riser slot, 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 procedure when adding a card to the other slot (if
applicable).
