Important:
The x8 (x4) designation for a PCI slot identifies a x8 slot that is wired
for x4. If you install a x8 adapter in slot 4 that can downshift to the x4
bandwidth, it will run at the x4 bandwidth. The x8 connector can be used for x4
and x8 adapters. Check the information that comes with your adapter for
compatibility information.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
Note:
1.
The instructions in this section apply to any PCI adapter (for example, video
graphics adapters or network adapters).
2.
Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1280 x 1024 at
75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution that is supported for
any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
3.
Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on
video adapter is not supported
1.
Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page vii and the
“Installation guidelines” on page 261.
2.
Follow the cabling instructions, if any come with the adapter. Route the adapter
cables before you install the adapter.
3.
Insert the adapter into the riser-card assembly, aligning the edge connector on
the adapter with the connector on the riser-card assembly. Press the edge of the
connector
firmly
into the riser-card assembly. Make sure that the adapter snaps
into the riser-card assembly securely.
Attention:
When you install an adapter, make sure that the adapter is
correctly seated in the riser-card assembly and that the riser-card assembly is
securely seated in the riser-card connector on the system board before you turn
on the server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the system
board, the riser-card assembly, or the adapter.
