Installing the Add-in Card(s) on the Riser

Perform this procedure to install the standard or low-profile add-in cards on the riser card. Refer to Figure 25 while performing this procedure.

Before you begin, examine the length of the bracket at the end of the add-in card you wish to install to determine whether it is a standard or a low-profile type. The low-profile card bracket is shorter than the standard card; approximately 3.11 in. (7.9 cm) compared to approximately 4.75 in.

(12.06 cm) long. The low-profile card fits into the right expansion slot (when facing the front of the server) and the standard card fits in the left slot.

1.Align the add-in card edge connector (A) with the proper riser connector (B). For example:

2.If the add-in card is a standard type (C), the component side faces down and the add-in card edge connector mates with the connector on the left side of the riser card when the riser is pointing toward the back of the server.

3.If the add-in card is a low-profile type (D), the component side faces up and the add-in card edge connector mates with the connector on the right side of the riser card.

4.The connectors are keyed to mate in only one direction.

5.Firmly press the add-in card(s) all the way into the mating connector on the riser card.
