Figure 6-17 Removing the rear riser card blank

Install the PCIe module to the riser card:

Remove the riser card air baffle, if the PCIe module to be installed needs to connect cables.
For more information, see "

Replacing a riser card air baffle

Open the riser card cover. As shown by callouts 1 and 2 in

Figure 6-18

, pressing the two

locking tabs on the riser card cover, rotate the cover outward.

Pull the PCIe module blank out of the slot, as shown by callout 3.
