■ Enter the BIOS Setup utility and compare the settings on the screen with
your notes or the server hardware manuals. Correct any discrepancies
then save the changes and restart the server.
■ Turn off the server, remove the cover, and make sure that all cables inside
the case are attached securely. Also, make sure that the colored cable edges
are aligned correctly and that the connectors did not miss any pins.
Disconnect and reconnect the cables. Close the case as described in
“Closing the case” on page 31, reconnect the modem and power cords,
then turn on the server.
■ Turn off the server, remove the cover and, if you have the proper test
equipment, make sure that the new battery has power. (Although
unlikely, your new battery may be defective.) Close the case as described
in “Closing the case” on page 31, reconnect the power cord, then turn
on the server.
Expansion cards
The server supports two 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI cards. Both slots support
half-length cards. In addition, the server supports six full-length, hot-swap PCI
cards. Two of these cards can be 64-bit, 66 MHz cards and four can be 64-bit,
33 MHz cards. See “System board” on page 13 for the locations of the card
slots.
Replacing a hot-swap PCI card
You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace a hot-swap
expansion card.
To replace a hot-swap expansion card:
1 Set any jumpers and switches on the replacement card, if required in the
card instructions.
