4. If your server comes with a support bracket that has a fan and a fan bracket attachment that looks like the bracket in the following illustration, complete the following steps: a. Disconnect the fan cable from the fan connector on the system board before removing the support bracket. b. Pull out on the rear end of the support bracket at a 45° angle. c. Disengage the front end of the support bracket from the server and set the bracket aside. To reinstall the support bracket, reverse the previous steps for your server. Working with adapters Your server comes with adapter connectors or slots. The standard video adapter is installed in mini-PCI slot 6 (PCI6). You can install up to five additional optional adapters in PCI slot 1 (PCI1) and PCI-X slots 2 through 5 (PCI2 through PCI5). See "System-board option connectors" on page 91 for the locations of expansion slots on the system board. Adapter considerations Before you install an adapter, review the following information: v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system. 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 your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v Installation of an AGP video adapter in the AGP slot is not supported. v You can install only a 32-bit adapter in the 32-bit PCI slot 1 and 64-bit adapters in the 64-bit PCI-X slots 2 through 5. v You can install full-length adapters in all five expansion slots; however, full-length, double-width adapters will not fit in slot 5 and are not supported. None of the expansion slots are hot-plug. v The 32-bit PCI slot 1 supports 5.0 V signaling PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3 V signaling adapters or 64-bit adapters. v The 64-bit PCI-X slots 2 through 5 support 3.3 V signaling PCI or PCI-X adapters; they do not support 5.0 V signaling adapters. v The PCI bus configuration is as follows: Chapter 4.
