Expansion Cards

 

The system supports up to two PCI expansion cards, which are installed in connectors on a riser board. The upper slot supports PCI 32-bit, 33-MHz (5.0-V)
expansion cards and the lower slot supports PCI-X 64-bit, 66-MHz (3.3-V) expansion cards. See

Figure A

-4

. If you are installing a remote access controller

card, it must be installed in the upper slot of the riser board. Install most RAID and SCSI controller cards in the lower slot.

NOTE:

The connectors on 64-bit cards are longer than the 32-bit PCI connector in the system. However, as long as the card is installed properly, the

card will still function.

CAUTION:

See your System Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting

against electrostatic discharge.

NOTE:

Keep this bracket if you need to remove the expansion card. Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion card slots to maintain

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper
cooling and airflow inside the system.
