The
server
is
designed
specifically
for
PCIe
x16,
PCIe
x8,
and
HTX
adapter
support.
The
server
supports
the
following
adapter
configurations:
–
The
PCIe
x16
riser
card
supports
PCIe
x16,
x8,
x4,
and
x1
adapters.
–
The
PCIe
x8
riser
card
supports
PCIe
x8,
x4,
and
x1
adapters.
–
The
HTX
riser
card
supports
only
HTX
adapters.
Important:
For
the
most
current
list
of
supported
adapters,

The
server
does
not
support
the
following
types
of
adapters:
–
5.0-V-only
adapters
–
PCI
adapters
–
PCI-X
adapters

The
integrated
video
controller
is
on
the
PCI
bus.
The
integrated
Ethernet
controllers
are
on
the
PCI-X
100
MHz
bus.
The
integrated
SATA
controller
is
on
the
SATA
bus.
The
PCIe
x16
riser-card
slot
is
on
the
PCIe
x16
bus.
The
PCIe
x8
riser-card
slot
is
on
the
PCIe
x8
bus.
The
HTX
riser-card
slot
is
on
the
HTX
bus.
v
The
server
scans
PCIe
and
HTX
slots
to
assign
system
resources.
By
default,
the
server
starts
(boots)
devices
in
the
following
order:
PCIe,
PCI-X,
and
PCI
devices;
HTX
devices;
then,
IDE
and
SATA
devices.
Note:
To
change
the
boot
precedence
for
PCIe,
PCI-X,
PCI,
and
HTX
devices,
you
must
disable
the
devices
through
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
Start
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
and
select
Startup
from
the
main
menu.
Then,
select
Startup
Sequence
and
use
the
arrow
keys
to
specify
the
startup
order.

To
install
an
adapter
and
its
corresponding
riser-card
assembly,
complete
the
following
steps.
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
v
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
21.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
all
attached
peripheral
devices.
Disconnect
all
power
cords;
then,
disconnect
all
external
signal
cables
from
the
server.
3.
Remove
the
server
from
the
rack;
then,
remove
the
server
cover
(see
“Removing
the
cover”
on
page
23).
4.
If
you
have
not
already
done
so,
determine
the
type
of
adapter
(PCIe
x16,
PCIe
x8,
or
HTX)
that
you
want
to
install.
For
the
locations
of
the
riser-card
slots
on
the
system
board,
see
“Server
components”
on
page
14.
Attention:
For
correct
server
operation,
each
installed
adapter
must
be
of
the
same
type
(PCIe
or
HTX)
as
the
riser-card
assembly
in
which
it
is
installed.
5.
According
to
the
type
of
adapter
that
you
are
installing,
select
the
correct
riser-card
adapter
connector
(PCIe
x16,
PCIe
x8,
or
HTX)
in
which
to
install
the
adapter.
6.
Route
the
adapter
cables,
if
any,
before
you
install
the
adapter
in
the
riser-card
assembly.
Attention:
When
you
handle
static-sensitive
devices,
take
precautions
to
avoid
damage
from
static
electricity.
For
information
about
handling
these
devices,
see
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
22.
7.
Touch
the
static-protective
package
that
contains
the
adapter
to
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
the
server.
Then,
remove
the
adapter
from
the
package.
