Installing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Card Offline
NOTE: Before installing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card, ensure that you install the proper drivers for the
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card.
To install a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card with the server power off, follow these steps:
1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering Off the Server”
(page 82).
2. If rack installed, slide the server completely out from the rack. See “Extending the Server from
the Rack” (page 164).
3. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 165).
4. Select an empty slot that is appropriate for the card you are installing. For more information
see “PCI/PCI-X Configurations” (page 177) and Figure 60.
5. Open the MRL.
a. Press the indentation on the MRL to release it from the chassis wall.
b. Lift the edge of the MRL, and rotate it upward 90 degrees until it rests against the chassis
wall and the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card bulkhead filler is fully exposed.
6. Remove the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe bulkhead filler.
7. Insert the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card into the empty slot, and use firm, even pressure to seat the
