PCI or AGP Card

Replacement Instructions

Follow the instructions in this sheet carefully. Failure to follow these instructions could

damage your equipment and void its warranty.

Online instructions covering customer-installable parts are available at

http://www.info.apple.com/installparts/.

Note:

Xserve provides three slots for PCI expansion cards. Two slots are on a riser card

located at the back left corner of the logic board; an additional slot is on a riser card at the

back right corner of the logic board. A PCI card that is 7 inches long can be installed in

either riser card; a PCI card that is 12 inches long can be installed only in the dual-slot

riser. In addition, an AGP card can be installed in the single-slot riser.

Tools Required

No tools are required for this procedure. You may, however, ﬁnd a Phillips screwdriver

useful in releasing the thumbscrews at the front of the server.

Opening the Server

The server slides open from the front of the rack. The top cover remains in place in the

rack while the bottom housing (containing all internal components) should be placed on a

sturdy, ﬂat surface.

1.Alert users that the server will be unavailable for a period of time.

2.Shut down the server.

Warning: To avoid damaging internal components or causing injury, always

shut down the server before opening it. After you shut down the server, internal

components can be very hot. Let the server cool down before continuing.

3.Write down the server’s serial number, which is located on the back panel. If it is

necessary to set up the server’s software after you replace a PCI or AGP card, you will

be asked for the serial number at login.
