9-24 Upgrading Your Server
PCI Board
The server contains eight slots into which PCI boards can be inserted.
Some PCI boards support the hot-plug function by which they may be installed or removed with the power of the server being on. Your server supports the hot-plug function. The PCI boards supporting the hot-plug function only include the N8104-111 100BASE-TX Adapter and the N8103-103 1000BASE-T Adapter.
IMPORTANT:
The PCI board is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch the metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body before handling the PCI board. Do not touch the PCI board terminals or on-board parts by a bare hand or place the PCI board directly on the desk. For static notes, see the section "Anti-static Measures".
Be sure any empty expansion slots have a slot cover installed. An open expansion slot reduces the cooling and EMI integrity of the server and can affect performance and cause damage due to overheating.
NOTE: The tab on the PCI board slot indicates hot-plug or non-hot- plug by its color. Hot-plug slot has the green tab (PCI slot #5 through #8), and non-hot-plug slot has the blue tab (PCI slot #1 through #4).
