Installing or Removing a PCI Add-in Card Caution: The add-in cards are NOT hot-swappable. Before installing or removing an add-in card, you must first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system, turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the system or wall outlet. One PCI-X* and one PCI Express* add-in card can be installed. The PCI-X card must be installed at the left side of the bracket; the PCI Express card must be installed at the right side of the bracket. Installing a PCI Add-in Card 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See "Safety Information" on page iii. 2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable. 3. Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see "Removing the Server System Cover" on page 28. 4. Remove the PCI riser assembly. For instructions, see "Removing the PCI Riser Assembly" on page 63. 5. Remove the screw at the rear of the riser assembly. See letter "A" in Figure 68. Save this screw. You will reinstall it later. 6. If a filler panel is installed over the opening at the rear of the riser assembly lift it from the riser assembly. See letter "B" in the figure. Save the filler panel in case you later need to remove the add-in card. 7. Insert the add-in card into the socket in the riser assembly. Push the add-in card into place firmly until it seats in the riser card connector, but use caution so you do not twist or bend the card. See letter "C" in the figure. Server System User Guide 67
