Accessing the PCI Slots

Before you can access the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slots you need to remove the right side outer panel of the server. Observer and follow the Safety Guidelines to prepare the unit for disassembly before proceeding. Once you have exposed the fan assembly you can proceed as follows. See Figure 7 Accessing the Option Slots.

1.Facing the back of the server locate and remove the 2 screws which secure the fan assembly’s left side to the server chassis.

2.Disconnect the fan assy cabling from the main board.

3.Lift the fan assembly straight up by placing your fingers under the front lip of the fan assembly. The fan assembly is attached to the chassis by 2 tab style latches (shaded). As soon as you have lifted the fan assembly high enough so it is clear of the latch tabs, you may. gently pull the assembly towards you to remove it completely.

4.The Option slots (PCI/ISA) are now exposed.

5.Option PCI Slot 16 is shared with ISA Slot 2.
