HP Cluster Platform Server and Workstation Overview

Important:
A 64-bit riser card must be used in a 64-bit PCI slot; likewise, a 32-bit riser card must be used
in a 32-bit PCI slot. Otherwise, the PCI interface might not be correctly detected and serious
performance irregularities might result.
12. Insert the riser card into a PCI slot (callout 1 in Figure 2-27). Handle the interface card gently,
preferably by the front panel or card edges. The front panel of the interface card is the metal
plate or molding that contains two LEDs and the port connector. Be sure the adapter is
securely seated.
13. Secure the card in place.
14. Tighten the screws beneath the ports.
15. Replace the exterior cover of the server, and attach the cable between the card and the switch.
16. Power on the server and check that the card is detected.
