Working with adapters Your server comes with two peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapter slots on the system board with riser cards installed in them. Note: Some models come with a SCSI adapter card installed in PCI slot 2. Attention: Your server comes with an integrated video controller on the system board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the server BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller. This enables the video adapter in the PCI slot to control the video functions for your monitor. The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI expansion slots on the system board.
