For an illustration overview of the procedure, refer either to the
Hardware Installation and Configuration poster shipped with your server
or to the expansion board installation label located on the inside of the
small access panel.
NOTE: If your server contains a shipping bracket, you must remove the bracket before
installing the expansion board.
The expansion slots may be populated in any order. Slots 1 and 2 are
connected to the primary (32-bit) PCI bus. Slots 3, 4, 5, and 6 are connected
to the secondary (64-bit) PCI bus.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of damage to your system or expansion boards, remove
all AC power cords before installing or removing expansion boards. With the
front panel power switch in the Standby position, auxiliary power is still
connected to the PCI expansion slot and may damage the card.
