3 Loosen the thumbscrew on the back panel for the PCI-X slots and swivel open the

small metal piece that holds the thumbscrew.

You can skip this step if there is already a card in the slot you want to use.

4 Move to the front of the server and open it to its full length.

See “Opening and Closing the Server” on page 72 for details.

You can also remove the server from the rack (leaving the cover in place) and install the

card with the server on a sturdy flat surface.

5 Locate the PCI-X slots at the back left side of the server.

You can install a card in one or both slots. Cards are oriented horizontally in the server.

The long PCI-X cards fit into an assembly unit that contains the sockets for both cards.

Loosen the thumbscrew and

swing the small metal plate

to its open position.
