–PCI-X extender card slots 7 and 8 are a PCI-X slots with 64/32 bits, 133/100/66 MHz from PXH.

vThe system scans PCI slots 1 through 6 to assign system resources. The system then starts (boots) the system devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot precedence: integrated Ethernet controller, ServeRAID-BR10i SAS Controller, and then PCI, PCI-X, and PCI Express slots.

Note: To change the boot precedence for PCI and PCI-X devices, start the Setup Utility and select Start Options from the main menu. See the “Starting the Setup Utility” on page 252 for details about using the Setup Utility.

vThe server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters so that you can install PCI adapters that do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered on might cause the server to stop, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

To install an adapter, do the following:

1.Read the safety information that begins on page 5.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. Remove the left-side cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on page 157 for more information).

3.See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions and information about jumper or switch settings. (It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter.)

4.Open the rear adapter-retention bracket.

5.Remove the expansion-slot cover.
