Installing PCI Adapter Boards
This subsection describes how to install PCI adapter boards. Use these
procedures when adding or replacing PCI adapter boards in your system. When
adding, but not replacing a PCI adapter board in a PCI module an identical PCI
adapter board must be added to the other PCI module to continue total system
redundancy and mirroring.
Notes: All installed PCI adapter boards must have the
same specifications and performance characteristic s in order
to provide total system redundancy and mirroring.
The PCI module board, is located in the PCI module and can have up to two 64-
bit PCI adapter boards and one 32-bit adapter board installed in its expansion
slots. However one VGA video board is already installed in each module in the
standard configuration. See Figure 4-25.
Note: PCI expansion slot #1 is dedicated to the
standard video graphics board.
!
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components;
place them on an antistatic surface. Only handle PCI
adapter boards using an antistatic wrist strap attached to
chassis ground.
