v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you need to change the switch or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v Your computer comes with adapter connectors or slots. The video adapter is installed in the PCI Express x16 slot. You can install up to five additional adapters in your computer in PCI-X slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. v The computer supports PCI-X adapters, 3.3 V PCI adapters, and universal PCI adapters. v None of the PCI-X slots are hot-plug slots. v You can install 64-bit or 32-bit adapters in PCI-X slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. v You can install full-length adapters in PCI-X slots 1, 3, 4, and 5; PCI-X slot 2 supports two-third length adapters. Note: If you install the 3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm 800 video adapter in the PCI Express x16 slot, it will overlap slot 4. Therefore, you will not be able to install an adapter in slot 4. v If you install a ServeRAID 6i+ adapter, it must be installed in slot 3. v The computer scans the PCI Express x16 slot and PCI-X expansion slots to assign system resources. Then, it starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express x16 slot; PCI-X expansion slot 1; system-board integrated drive electronics (IDE), Serial ATA (SATA), or small computer system interface (SCSI) devices; and then PCI-X slots 2 through 5. v For a list of supported options for your computer, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/; then, select your country and navigate to the list of options for your computer. To install an adapter, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 11. 2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices (see "Turning off the computer" on page 42); then, disconnect all external cables and power cords. 3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 16). 4. Determine which PCI-X slot you will use for the adapter. Review the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route any cables before you install the adapter. 5. For full-length adapters, rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and remove it from the computer. Rotate the front adapter-retention bracket to the open position. If you are installing a smaller adapter, remove only the rear adapter-retention bracket. 6. Remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the computer, press on the slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place for future use. Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all empty slots. This maintains the electronic emissions standards of the computer and ensures proper ventilation of computer components. 7. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if any. 8. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package, carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.

.
The
video
adapter
is
installed
in
the
PCI
Express
x16
slot.
You

additional
adapters
in
your
computer
in
PCI-X
slots
1,
2,

V
PCI
adapters,
and
universal
PCI
adapters.
v
None
of
the
PCI-X
slots
are
hot-plug
slots.
v
You

Wildcat
Realizm
800
video
adapter
in
the
PCI
Express
x16
slot,
it
will

default
startup
sequence:
PCI
Express

To
install
an
adapter,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
v
and
the
guidelines
in
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
11.
2.
Turn
off
the
computer
and
all
attached
devices
(see
“Turning
off
the
computer”
on
page
42);
then,
disconnect
all
external
cables
and
power
cords.
3.
Remove
the
side
cover
(see
“Removing
the
cover”
on
page
16).
4.
Determine
which
PCI-X
slot
you
will
use
for
the
adapter.
Review
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter
for
any
requirements,
restrictions,
or
cabling
instructions.
It
might
be
easier
to
route
any
cables
before
you
install
the
adapter.
5.
For
full-length
adapters,
rotate
the
rear
adapter-retention
bracket
to
the
open
(unlocked)
position
and
remove
it
from
the
computer.
Rotate
the
front
adapter-retention
bracket
to
the
open
position.
If
you
are
installing
a
smaller
adapter,
remove
only
the
rear
adapter-retention
bracket.
6.
Remove
the
expansion-slot
cover.
From
the
rear
of
the
computer,
press
on
the
slot
cover.
Grasp
it
and
pull
it
out
of
the
expansion
slot.
Store
it
in
a
safe
place
for
future
use.
Attention:
Expansion-slot
covers
must
be
installed
on
all
empty
slots.
This
maintains
the
electronic
emissions
standards
of
the
computer
and
ensures
proper
ventilation
of
computer
components.
7.
Follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter
to
set
jumpers
or
switches,
if
any.
8.
Remove
the
adapter
from
the
static-protective
package,
carefully
grasp
the
adapter
by
the
top
edge
or
upper
corners,
and
align
