Installing a PCI riser-card assembly
The server provides two PCI riser-card slots on the system board. The following
information indicates the riser-card slots:
v Standard models of the server come with one PCI Express riser-card assembly
installed. If you want to replace them with PCI-X riser-card assemblies, you must
order the PCI-X riser-card assembly option, which includes the bracket.
v A PCI Express riser-card assembly has a black connector and supports PCI
Express adapters, and a PCI-X riser-card assembly has a white (light in color)
connector and supports PCI-X adapters.
v PCI riser slot 1 (the farthest slot from the power supplies). You must install a PCI
riser-card assembly in slot 1 with microprocessor 1.
