Adding an expansion card

This server has seven PCI expansion slots on the system board that may be used for a variety of expansion cards. These cards may include a SCSI controller card, a modem, a high-end sound card, or an additional IDE controller card.

To add an expansion card:

1Set any jumpers and switches on the card, if required. (See the card instructions.)

2Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if installed), and all external peripheral devices.

3Remove the left side cover panel. (See “Removing the side cover” on page 18 and “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 15.)

4Locate an available slot appropriate to the type of card you are installing, and remove the slot cover by removing the screw that secures it to the back of the chassis.
