5-7 Adding PCI Cards
The X7DCA-3/X7DCA-i has one PCI-Express x16 slot, one PCI-Express x4 slot (in
a x16 slot), two 64-bit 133/100 MHz PCI-X slots and two PCI 33 MHz slots. The
SC743TQ-865-SQ chassis can accommodate up to seven PCI expansion cards.
PCI cards are installed directly to the serverboard.
Installing an Add-on Card
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into a slot that supports
the speed of the card (see step 1, above).
Begin by removing the PCI slot shield for the slot you wish to populate.
Fully seat the card into the riser card slot, pushing down with your thumbs
evenly on both sides of the card.
Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.
The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering
each unused slot.
