2-5 PCI Expansion Cards

A riser card is used to support one standard size (full height full length) PCI expansion card.

Installing a PCI Expansion Card

1.Confirm that you have the correct riser card for your chassis model and the add-on card includes a standard bracket.

2.Remove the chassis cover.

3.Install the riser card by sliding card into the appropriate riser card in the serverboard.

4.Choose the PCI slot shield in which to place the add-on card.

5.In that slot, open the PCI slot shield lever and slide the shield sideways.

6.From inside the chassis, remove the PCI slot shield.

7.Slide the add-on card into the riser card and attach the add-on card bracket in place of the PCI slot shield.

8.Secure the add-on card by closing the PCI slot shield lever.

9.Connect cables to the add-on card as necessary.
