Adding PCI Expansion Boards
CAUTION:
Before installing a PCI video expansion board, make
sure the appropriate PCI slot options group is enabled. Failure to
do so might cause your server to operate incorrectly.
Perform the following steps after installing PCI expansion boards:
1. Start the SCU using one of the three methods described in Chapter 2,
“Starting the SCU.”
2. The SCU automatically scans for PCI devices and will assign resources
to them. Verify that the resources assigned (e.g., IRQs) are supported
by the PCI device under the operating system you are loading onto your
server.
Refer to the documentation that shipped with your PCI device.
NOTE:
Your server’s BIOS will automatically disable the onboard
video controller when a video expansion board is installed.
Connect the video cable to the video expansion board and the
server will boot normally.
3. Select “Step 4: Save Configuration,” to save your configuration.
4. Select “Step 6: Exit,” to exit the SCU.
