Installing and Removing a PCI Add-in Card
Caution: The add-in cards are NOT hot-swappable. Before removing or replacing an add-in card,
you must first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to
the system, turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power
cord from the system or wall outlet.
Installing a PCI Add-in Card
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety
Information” on page iii .
2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.
3. Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see
“Removing the Server
System Cover” on page 28 .
4. Remove the PCIe* Riser assembly. For instructions, see “Removing the PCIe*
Riser Assembly” on page 51 .
5. Remove the screw at the rear of the riser assembly. See letter “A” in Figure 34 .
Save this screw. You will reinstall it later.
6. If a filler panel is installed over the opening at the rear of the riser assembly, lift it
from the riser assembly. See letter “B” in Figure 34 . Save the filler panel in case
you later need to remove the add-in card.
7. Insert the add-in card into the socket in the riser assembly. Push the add-in card into
place firmly until it seats in the riser card connector, but use caution so you do not
twist or bend the card. See letter “C” in Figure 34 .
8. Re-install the screw you removed in Step 5. See letter “A” in Figure 34 .
