The riser card is now ready to receive a PCIe card.
See illustration on next page
.
Note that the standard riser card can accommodate the following form factors:
• One 16-lane Generation 2.0 PCI Express slot
• Three 8-lane Generation 2.0 PCI Express slots
The special graphics riser card has one 16-lane Generation 2.0 PCI Express slot. The procedure for installing
the hardware is the same. Contact your sales representative to order the graphics riser card. A list of approved
graphics cards is posted online at promise.com.
To insert a PCIe card, follow these steps:
1.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver or your fingers to loosen the PCIe bracket guard screw and swing the
guard open to access the PCIe card anchor screw holes.
2.
Insert the PCIe card so that it is firmly seated in an available slot on the riser card.
3. Secure the PCIe bracket to the module housing. When properly positioned the port(s) on the PCIe card
will be accessible from the backplate and the PCIe bracket will be flush with the backplate.
4. Swing the bracket guard closed and secure it with the attached screw.
