Installing or Replacing a PCI Add-in Card

The riser card assembly is installed in the super slot located in the middle of the S5000PHB server

board. (See

Figure 10 on page 21

for this location.) The system is delivered with a PCI Express* riser

card attached to the riser card assembly. To use PCI-X* cards, this riser must be replaced with the

PCI-X riser card, which can be ordered as an accessory.

Note:

PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express add-in cards are referred to generically as “PCI cards” in the

following procedures.

To add a PCI card, remove the riser card assembly from the system. Ensure that the appropriate riser

card is attached to the assembly (PCIe by default) or replace it with the correct one (e.g, PCI-X

instead of PCIe), remove the I/O filler panel, then add the PCI or PCIe add-in card. This assembly is

then plugged back into the super slot connector on the S5000PHB server board server board. Refer to

the Intel® Server Board S5000PHB Technical Product Specification for the electrical characteristics

for the PCI/PCIe riser card assembly super slot.

Note:

Using a supported PCI/PCIe card is recommended. For a list of tested and supported

cards, see the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) at
