5-5 Adding PCI Cards

PCI Express Slot

The 6026TT-GTRF/GIBXRF/GIBQRF includes two preinstalled riser cards designed specifically for use in the SC827HD-R1400B 2U rackmount chassis (one card for each node). These riser cards each support one (two total for the system) full-height, full-length PCI Express x16 cards.

PCI Card Installation

A riser card has already been preinstalled into each serverboard. Perform the fol- lowing steps to add a PCI add-on card:

1.Remove the PCI slot shield on the chassis by releasing the locking tab.

2.Insert the add-on card into the riser card.

3.Secure the add-on card with the locking tab.

Note: riser cards for PCI add-on cards cannot be used when the server is config- ured with GPUs.
