Removing and Installing a Low-Profile PCI Adapter
Installing and Replacing System Components
5-35
Tools: Phillips head number 2 screwdriver.
Use ESD precautions when performing this procedure.
1. The PCI slots are physically labeled PCI 1 through
PCI 4 on the enclosure chassis. Labeling in Windows
software is the same as labeling in the hardware. In
Linux, PCI slots 1 through 4 are identified as
eth100100, eth100200, eth100300, and
eth100400, respectively.
2. No slots are reserved.
3. ftServer 4500 and 6300 systems may optionally
have 4 PCI slots.
4. PCI slots 3 and 4 are located on a PCI riser assembly
inside the CPU- I ⁄ O enclosure. See “Replacing a PCI
Riser Assembly and Its Adapters” on page 5-38; that
procedure also describes how to install PCI adapters
on the riser.
5. Install only low-profile PCI-Express adapters in slots 1
and 2.
6. You cannot install full-height PCIe adapters in
low-profile PCI slots. Install full-height and extra-long
PCIe adapters only in PCI slots 3 and 4 on the
optional PCIe riser assembly.
7. You can install PCI-X adapters only in PCI slots 3
and 4 on the optional PCI-X riser assembly.
Removing a Low-Profile PCI Adapter
1. Remove the bezel.
2. Remove the CPU-I⁄O enclosure and remove the enclosure cover.
3. Remove the screw (number 1 in Figure 5-18) on the the top of the low-profile PCI
adapter bracket (number 2).
Be sure to keep track of the removed screws and brackets
and keep them in a safe place while performing this
procedure.
