3Loosen the thumbscrew on the back panel for the PCI-X slots and swivel open the small metal piece that holds the thumbscrew.

You can skip this step if there is already a card in the slot you want to use.

Loosen the thumbscrew and swing the small metal plate to its open position.

4Move to the front of the server and open it to its full length. See “Opening and Closing the Server” on page 72 for details.

You can also remove the server from the rack (leaving the cover in place) and install the card with the server on a sturdy flat surface.

5Locate the PCI-X slots at the back left side of the server.

You can install a card in one or both slots. Cards are oriented horizontally in the server. The long PCI-X cards fit into an assembly unit that contains the sockets for both cards.
