Replacing the Expansion-Card Cage

CAUTION:

See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in your System

Information document.

1. With the expansion-card cage lever in the upright position, lower the cage into the chassis until it is aligned with the

tabs on the chassis side wall (see

Figure 6-3

).

2. Rotate the expansion-card cage lever down until the handle is flush with the top of the cage, and the cage is secured in

the chassis (see

Figure 6-3

).

3. Reconnect all expansion-card cables.

4. Replace the cover (see "

Replacing the Cover

" in "Troubleshooting Your System").

Expansion Cards

The system includes three expansion slots. The expansion cards are installed on the system's riser board (see

Figure A-4

to

identify the expansion slots).

Expansion Card Installation Guidelines

You can install expansion cards of different operating speeds on the same bus; however, the bus will operate at the slowest

operating speed of the cards on that bus. For example, if one card on the bus has an operating speed of 66 MHz and the

other card has an operating speed of 100 MHz, the bus will only operate at 66 MHz.

To identify expansion slots and PCI buses, see

Figure A-4

.

Table 6-1

lists the PCI bus and operating speed for each

expansion-card slot.
