2. Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at
75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution that is supported for
any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
3. Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on
video adapter is not supported.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 33.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
3. Remove the server cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 36).
4. Follow the cabling instructions, if any come with the adapter. Route the adapter
cables before you install the adapter.
5. Insert the adapter into the PCI riser-card assembly, aligning the edge connector
on the adapter with the connector on the PCI riser-card assembly. Press the
edge of the connector firmly into the PCI riser-card assembly. Make sure that
the adapter snaps into the PCI riser-card assembly securely.
Attention: When you install an adapter, make sure that the adapter is
correctly seated in the riser-card assembly and that the riser-card assembly is
securely seated in the riser-card connector on the system board before you turn
on the server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the system
board, the riser-card assembly, or the adapter.
6. Install the PCI riser-card assembly in the server (see “Replacing a PCI riser-card
assembly” on page 245).
7. Connect the cable to the newly-installed adapter.
