5-6 Adding PCI Cards

1.PCI-X slot:

The i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2 has one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot. The server should have come with a riser card installed, which supports a standard sized PCI-X card (see Figure 5-7).

2.PCI card installation:

Before installing a PCI add-on card, see step 1, above. Begin by swinging the release tab on the I/O backpanel shield out to the left for the PCI slot. Insert the PCI card into the correct slot on the butterfly riser card (depending on whether it is a standard or low-profile card), pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by pushing the release tab back to its original (locked) position. Follow this procedure when adding a card to either slot.
