Figure 2-4. InfiniPath QLE7140 Assembly with Riser Card
10. Holding the InfiniPath adapter by its edges, carefully insert the card slot
connector into the PCIe riser card edge connector, as show in figure 2-4 above.
The result is a combined L-shaped assembly of the PCIe riser card and
InfiniPath Adapter. This assembly is what you’ll insert into the PCIe slot on the
motherboard in the next step.
11. Turn the assembly so that the riser card connector edge is facing the PCIe slot
on the mother board, and the face plate is toward the front of the chassis.
12. Holding this assembly above the motherboard at about a 45 degree angle,
slowly lower it so that the InfiniBand connector on the face plate clears the
blanking panel opening of the chassis from the inside. Slowly align the
connector edge of the riser card with the motherboard’s PCIe slot. The short
section of the connector must align with the short section of the slot.
13. Insert the riser assembly into the motherboard’s PCIe slot, ensuring good
contact. The InfiniPath Adapter should now be parallel to the motherboard and
about one inch above it.
