CRU Replacement and Server Upgrades 4-25
Installing PCI Adapter BoardsThis 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.
