The SBI-7126T-SH blade module contains a single slot for a PCI-E 3.0 x16 add-on card.
Your add-on card uses a riser card that allows the add-on card to be properly installed
parallel to the blade module’s mainboard. There is also cover shield that you must
attach to the add-on card in order to maintain proper air flow to the blade module.
Use the procedure below to install the add-on card to the blade module.
Installing an Add-on Card to the Blade Module
1. Remove the chassis cover from the blade module.
2. Attach the add-on card bracket to the add-on card cover shield ( Figure 3-16 ).
