If the system is running, first, issue
the sync command. Then, shut down the system by executing: shutdown -h. Respond “y” to
the continue to shutdown prompt.
Wait for the system to shut down completely, and
then power off the system by pressing the system off button. Ensure
that the system is grounded.
Open the system to gain access to the PCI backplane.
Select an empty PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the
slot cover. The card can operate in PCI as well as PCI-X mode. Some
servers have “shared” slots. If you put this card
in a shared slot that is shared with a slower card,
both cards will then operate at the slower card’s speed.
