Chapter 4 Installing Hardware Options

Installing Adapters

Before you install adapters, review the following:

The Content Engine comes with two Peripheral Component Interconnect-Extended (PCI-X) adapter slots. PCI-X slot 1 is located on the adapter support bracket with the riser card. PCI-X slot 2 is located on the system board. To access the PCI-X slot 1 connector, you must first remove the adapter support bracket. (See Figure 4-4.)

You can install either a Fibre Channel adapter or an MPEG A/V decoder adapter in PCI-X slot 1. (This slot is labeled “PCI 1” on the back of the Content Engine.)

The CE-566 has a SCSI adapter installed in PCI-X slot 2 (PCI 2). This adapter is not user-replaceable.

Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.

The system scans PCI-X slots to assign system resources. By default the system tries to boot from the CD-ROM. If the CD-ROM is not present, the system boots from the integrated flash device.

Caution When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see the “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” section on page 2-6.
