Installing PCI Add-in Board(s)

Caution: You may want to install an operating system before installing any add-in boards.

Do not overload the server board by installing add-in boards that draw excessive current.

Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing the board from its protective wrapper, place it component side up on a grounded, static-free surface. Do not slide the board over any surface.

When removing a full-length add-in card, you must pull back on the latch on the plastic card guide at the front of the chassis to release the card from the card guide.
