Upgrading Your System 7-33

Installation

Take the following steps to install a PCI board on the riser card:

IMPORTANT: The full-height riser card is equipped with an "insulator (black)" to protect PCI boards. Do not remove the insulator, and handle it carefully. The insulator is not shown in the figures in this manual for simplifying the illustrations.

NOTES:

!Each riser card supports low-profile or full-height PCI boards. Before installing a PCI board, confirm that the type of the PCI board.

!When installing a PCI board, confirm that the card connector matches the connector of the riser card.

1.See the section "Preparing for Installation and Removal" described earlier to prepare.

2.Pull out the server from the rack.

3.Remove the top cover.

4.Lift straight up and remove the riser card from the server.
