If the Server is mounted on the pedestal, perform Steps 1-8 from
“Removing Covers – Pedestal” on page
25
.
•
If the Server is in the rack, perform steps 1-14 from
“Removing Covers – Rack-Mount” on page 21

6. Consider the boot priority before installing any accessory boards.
If installing a SCSI disk controller board, the controller’s priority (BIOS search order for a boot drive) is
set by the board’s slot location. For details, refer to Boot Priority earlier in this chapter.
7. Identify the desired slot (1 through 6), before installing the accessory board.
8. Remove the slot cover from the Server’s rear panel, before installing the new board into the slot, as shown
in
Figure 3-21

9. Before installing the new PCI board:
•
Verify there is no handle attached to it, especially if it is a full-length board.
•
If it has a handle attached, remove the handle before installing the board into the slot.
10. Align the board with its slot along its full length and position it into the slot.
11. Push the PCI board down into its connector in the System board.
NOTE
Each PCI slot must have a slot cover or PCI board in the slot. Ensure that all unused slots
have slot covers.
CAUTION
Do not bend the PCI board to install it into the slot. If a full-length PCI board has a handle
on the end of the board that prevents its installation, remove the handle before installing
the board.
