5-5 Installing PCI Add-On Cards
Each node in the 6036ST-6LR can accommodate up to three PCI add-on cards.
This may include one PCI-E x8 and two PCI-E x4 cards.
Installing an Add-on Card (Figure 5-4)
1. Begin by removing the node you wish to populate with add-on cards.
2. Locate the riser card and fully seat the cards into the slots in the riser, push-
ing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.
3. If standard size cards are used, only passive heatsinks may be used for the
processors as the card size will interfere with active type heatsinks.
