Cards

1. PCI Expansion Slots

The X7DBR-3/X7DBR-E has two Universal PCI slots, each of which support either

one x8 PCI-Express card or one PCI-X 133/100 MHz card. (On the X7DBR-3, slot

#7 is a 100 MHz PCI-X slot, on the X7DBR-E slot #7 is a 133 MHz PCI-CX slot.)

The SC815TQ-560 chassis can accommodate one standard size (full height full

length) and one low profi le PCI expansion cards. When viewed from the chassis

front, the standard size card installs to the left and the low-profi le card installs to

the right side.

PCI cards are installed into riser cards that have been included with the system: the

CSE-RR1U-X riser supports a standard size card in slot #6 and the CSE-RR1U-XLP

riser supports a low profi le card in slot #7.

An additional two riser cards are available as an option to support add-on cards

in the SXB-E1 and SXB-E2 x8 (PCI-Express) slots: the CSE-RR1U-EL riser (for

a standard size card) and the CSE-RR1U-ELP (for a low profi le card).

2. PCI card installation

Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into the correct riser

card. Begin by releasing the locking tab that corresponds to the slot you wish to

populate. Insert the expansion card into the correct riser card, pushing down with

your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.
