PCI Slot Locations and Configurations
PCI slots are numbered from 1 through 8 in the server. Figure 4-30 shows the core I/O card
locations on the I/O baseboard. The dedicated core I/O card slots are slots 1 and 2.
The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 and 2:
• PCI slot 1 is dedicated for use by a SCSI HBA card. Slot 1 is not hot-plug capable. Additional
PCI expansion cards may not be placed in slot 1.
• PCI slot 2 is dedicated for use a LAN card. Slot 2 is not hot-plug capable. Additional PCI
expansion cards may not be placed in slot 2.
Removing the SCSI Core I/O Card
To remove the SCSI core I/O card in slot 1, follow these steps:
1. If rack mounted, slide the HP server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the
Server From the Rack” (page 31).
2. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 36).
3. Disconnect any internal and external SCSI cables connected to the SCSI core I/O card.
