5-7 Adding PCI Cards

1.32-bit PCI slot:

The 370SSR+/370SSE+ has one 32-bit MHz 5V PCI slot available. A riser card designed specifically for using this slot in a 1U rackmount chassis is included with your system. This riser card allows an installed PCI card to sit at a 90 degree angle so it can fit inside the chassis. This riser card accommodates 32-bit, 33 MHz 5V PCI cards. Figure 5-5 shows the riser card.

2.PCI card installation:

Before installing a PCI add-on card, locate the PCI riser card (see Step1). Begin by removing the I/O shield for the PCI slot. Then fully seat the PCI card into the riser card and screw it into the metal retention rail (shown in Figure 2-5). Finally, insert the riser card into the PCI slot on the motherboard, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. (See Figure 5-6 for location.) Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis. The I/O shield protects the motherboard and its components from EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering the slot.
