Pci Card - NEC Express5800/R120b-1 User Manual

PCI Card

On the motherboard, the server has a riser card assembly that enables installation of PCI cards and a
RAID controller-dedicated slot that enables installation of a RAID controller. The riser card
assembly can hold one full-height PCI board, one low-profile PCI board, and one RAID controller
(for a total of three PCI boards).
Insert PCI cards for network extension and file device function extension into PCI card slots in each
riser card.
IMPORTANT:
The PCI board is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch the
metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body before
handling the PCI board. Do not touch the PCI card terminals or on-board parts by
a bare hand or place the PCI card directly on the desk. For static notes, see page
9-3.
Some restrictions are imposed on the combination of PCI cards which can be
installed in the server. Contact your service representative for details.
A riser card is designed for installing only low-profile PCI cards or full-height PCI
cards. Before installing a PCI card, make sure of the card specification.
If the SCSI controller, RAID controller, LAN card (for network boot), or Fibre
Channel controller is not connected with the hard disk drive that contains OS, be
sure to disable Option ROM for that card. See page 4-2 for details.
