IMPORTANT: The above list of part numbers is current and correct as of September 2006. Part numbers change often. Check the following website to ensure you have the latest part numbers associated with this server: http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main Installing an Additional PCI-X Card IMPORTANT: While the installation process for PCI/PCI-X cards and PCI-e cards is the same, PCI-e cards are physically smaller than PCI-X cards and are not interchangeable. - Page 50 IMPORTANT: The installation process varies depending on what method for installing the PCI card is selected. PCI I/O card installation procedures should be downloaded from the http://docs.hp.com/ Web site. Background information and procedures for adding a new PCI I/O card using online addition are found in the Interface Card OL* Support Guide. PCI I/O OL* Card Methods There are three methods for performing OL* operations on PCI I/O cards.
