5-6 Adding PCI Add-On Cards
The 2027R-E1R24L can accommodate up to fi ve low-pro fi le PCI-E 3.0 x8 expan-
sion (add-on) cards.
Installing an Add-on Card
1. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI slot you wish to populate.
2. Fully seat the card into the slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on
both sides of the card.
3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.
The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering
each unused slot.
