2.8.2 Installing a long expansion card

If you wish to install a long expansion card, such as some types of RAID

cards, you need to remove the lower hot swap drive cage and install an

internal (non-hot swap) drive cage with long card guides that keep the

expansion cards firmly seated on the slots.

1. The internal drive cage is optional and separately purchased. See

section "Chapter 3 Optional components" for instructions on

installing the drive cage.

2. The AS4 (4-SCSI configuration) and AI4 (4-IDE configuration)

models support long expansion cards.

To install a long expansion card:

1. Remove the plastic card lock opposite the slot where you wish to install

the expansion card. Release the card lock by pressing the center tabs

and pushing outward. Set the card lock aside for later use.

2. Tilt the long card as shown while

aligning the metal bracket with the

slot opening on the rear panel.

3. When the card is inside the

chassis, push down the end of the

card until it is level with the PCI

slot.
