3-6 Removing and Installing the PCIe/Riser Card
• Voltages can be present within the server whenever an AC power source is connected. This
voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position. Ensure that the system
is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected from the server prior to installing a
PCI card.
• Failure to observe these warnings could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
• The PCI riser assembly does not include a riser card or any cabling as standard. To install a PCI
card, a riser card must be installed.
Follow these instructions to install a PCIe card:
1. Loosen the thumbnail screw securing the riser bracket from the rear side of the system.
2. Loosen the two thumbnail screws securing the riser bracket inside the system.
3. Lift up the riser bracket out of system.
4. Remove the screw securing the slot cover from riser bracket.
5. Orient the PCIe card with the riser guide slot and push in the direction of the arrow until the PCIe
card sits in the PCIe card connector.
NOTE: Some riser brackets allow for single or multiple PCIe cards.
Repeat steps 4-5 as necessary.
6. Secure the PCIe card with the screw.
