Working with Adapters Note: Expansion slot 5 is a shared slot. Shared slots can be occupied by an adapter attached to either the PCI slot connector or the adjacent ISA slot connector, but not both. Attention: To avoid possible damage to adapters and server components, be sure that the adapters that you install do not touch each other or the other components (such as the microprocessor) inside the server. Installing or Removing Adapters This section gives the procedure for installing an adapter. If you want to remove an adapter, reverse the order of the following steps. Notes: 1. See "Input/Output Connectors" on page 10 for an illustration of the expansion slots on the rear of the server. 2. If you remove an adapter, be sure to reassign the system resources as available for ISA legacy adapters. See "ISA Legacy Resources" on page 40. Before you begin: Read "Electrical Safety" on page 54 and "Handling Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 55. Read the documentation that comes with the option. To install an adapter: 1. Review the instructions that come with the adapter to determine if it must be installed in an AGP, PCI, or ISA expansion slot; otherwise, use any empty, bus-compatible slot. 2. Remove the server cover (see "Preparing to Add Options" on page 56). 3. Remove the appropriate expansion-slot cover: a. Remove the expansion-slot screw on the top of the expansion-slot cover. b. Slide the expansion-slot cover out of the server. Chapter 4. Installing Options 61
