damage to the leads.
•
Available type of PCI card depends on riser card. Make sure the card type before connecting it to riser
card.
•
The server provides no connector to connect a LED connector which is supplied in RAID Controller
used to indicate disk access.
•
PCI slot number "1A" is assigned to the RAID controller slot,"1B, 2B, 3C" are assigned to the riser card
for Full Height PCI cards, "1C, 2C" are assigned to the riser card for Low Profile PCI cards, and “1D” is
assigned to LAN Riser Card slot.
•
The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
Slot 1A (dedicated to RAID Controller)
→
Slot 1B (Full height card slot)

If an additional LAN card is installed, it is hard to push the catch of the connector with your finger that is
connected to the LAN card. Disconnect the connector pushing the catch with a standard screwdriver. At
this time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN card.
•
If a bootable device such as a PCI card or USB device is added, the boot order may change.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select
Hard Drive BBS Priorities
from the
Boot
menu, and then specify a higher
priority for the boot device.

Dev 00) PCI
RAID Adapter
. Note that the value for
xx
changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID board is
installed.
•
For a RAID Controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if no hard disk drive on
which an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to
Disabled
