Note Expansion slots 1 and 2 are a shared slot. A shared slot can be used by an adapter installed in either the PCI connector or the adjacent ISA connector, but not both. The server comes with a video controller. This video controller is an integrated component on the system board. It is not in an expansion slot. The integrated video controller has super video graphics array (SVGA) technology. The integrated video controller is not removable. If you want to disable this controller and use a video adapter instead, you can install a video adapter in an expansion slot. When you install a video adapter, the server BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller. Attention To avoid possible damage to adapters and server components, be sure that the adapters 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 following steps. Before you begin Read "Safety information" on page 176. Read the documentation that comes with the option. 1. Review the instructions that come with the adapter to determine if the adapter must be installed in a certain slot; otherwise, use any available, bus-compatible slot. Note If you install a video adapter, the server automatically disables the video controller on the system board. IBM recommends that the video be installed in slot 5. Netfinity 5000 - Type 8659 57
