This section explains the types of expansion card, installation procedures, and notes
on expansion cards.
7.4.1 Where to Install an Expansion Card
This server has two PCI slots. Up to two expansion cards can be installed.
The figure below shows the slot locations.
• Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and unplug the power cables from
the outlet. Failure to do so can cause electric shock ("1.4.3 Turning Off the
Server" (pg.31)).
• The circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed. They
can be damaged by static electricity.
Before handling them, first touch a metal part of the server to discharge static
electricity.
• Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the metallic areas
or the edges of the circuit boards.
• Expansion cards are susceptible to static electricity. Place them on conductive
pads or keep them in their packaging as long as they are not necessary.
