• To confirm that server supports the adapter that you are installing, see http://www.lenovo.com/
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this section.
•
Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz for an LCD monitor.
This is the highest resolution that is supported for any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
• Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on video adapter is not
supported.
• The server does not support PCI-X adapters or legacy 5 V PCI adapters.
• The server provides two PCI riser slots on the system board, supporting 1U and 2U riser-card assembly.
The 1U riser-card assembly may provide up to two PCI Express Gen3 adapter slots, while the 2U riser-card
assembly may provide up to three PCI Express Gen3 adapter slots. See “PCI riser-card adapter expansion
slot locations” on page 24 for the respective location of the PCI-e slots on the riser card assembly.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
Note:
If your adapter was previously configured, back up or record its configuration information, if possible,
before replacing the adapter. See the documentation for your adapter for information and instructions.
Step 1.
Read the safety information that begins in “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 36.
Step 2.
Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 26) and all attached peripheral devices.
Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables from the server.
Step 3.
Remove the server top cover (see “Removing the server top cover” on page 39).
Step 4.
If you have the optional hot-swap rear hard disk drive cage installed, rotate it up (see “Rotating the
optional hot-swap rear hard disk drive cage up” on page 40).
Step 5.
Remove the PCI riser-card assembly (see “Removing a PCI riser-card assembly” on page 41).
Step 6.
Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
Step 7.
The following illustrates the steps for installing an adapter into different PCI riser-card assemblies:
• For 2U PCI riser-card assembly 1
1. Rotate the retention latch to the open position. Insert the adapter into the PCI riser-card
assembly, aligning the edge connector on the adapter with the connector on the PCI
riser-card assembly. Press the edge of the connector firmly into the PCI riser-card assembly.
Make sure that the adapter snaps into the PCI riser-card assembly securely.
2. Rotate the retention latch to the close position. Make sure the retention latch engages the
adapter securely; then, push in the release pin to lock the retention latch in place.
