Installing a Full-Height Expansion Card

Full-height expansion cards can be installed into the riser card slots on the computer.

There are two riser cards available from HP for this product. One has two PCI slots and the other has two PCI Express x1 slots. Both cards have a slot designated for the Powered Serial Port expansion card.

CAUTION: The Powered Serial Port expansion card slot on the riser cards looks very similar to a PCI Express x1 expansion card slot. Do not attempt to insert a PCI Express x1 expansion card into the Powered Serial Port expansion card slot and do not attempt to insert a Powered Serial Port expansion card into a PCI Express x1 expansion card slot

NOTE: Although there are three slots in each riser card, you can only install two

expansion cards in the riser card: one in the top slot and one in either the middle slot or the bottom slot

The bottom slot on each card (3) is designed specifically for an HP Powered Serial Port expansion card. DO NOT attempt to plug any other type of card into the bottom slot.

NOTE: The following sections provide instructions for installing a Powered Serial Port expansion card. However, the procedure is basically the same for installing any full-height PCI expansion card or PC Express x1 expansion card.
