System Upgrade 8-39

Setup of Optional PCI Board

„To enable the fault-tolerant feature of the optional device, the identical PCI boards must be installed to the slots with the same number in CPU/IO module#0 and CPU/IO module#1.

„The BIOS settings need to be modified when mounting some optional PCI boards. To change the BIOS settings, start the BIOS Setup Utility to change the [Boot Monitoring] configuration in [Server] – [Monitoring Configuration]. See “Monitoring Configuration” on page 4-25 for more details.

„For the supported connecting devices, contact your sales agent.
