Installing a PCI Riser Card
The CG2100 server does not ship with a PCI riser card, just the sheet metal bracket
where the riser card and PCI add-in cards are housed. There are three different PCI
riser card options that all use the same header connection on the T5520 UR server
board:
•
2U PCIe “butterfly” riser (three full-height/full-length PCIe x8 slots and two low-
profile PCIe x4 slots
•
2U PCIe/PCI-X “butterfly” riser (two PCI-X 133 slots, one full-height/full-length
PCIe x8 slot, and two low-profile PCIe x4 slots)
•
2U PCIe passive riser (three full-height/full-length PCIe x8 slots)
In this section, the riser card example is a full-height, full-length riser, as shown
in Figure 41.

CAUTION: When handling the riser card, observe normal safety and ESD precautions. (See
Appendix A: Safety Information” for more information.
To install the riser card in the sheet metal bracket:
1.
Remove the back chassis cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Back Cover” in
Section 3.2.
2.
Remove the riser card assembly from the chassis and place it upside-down. For
instructions, see “Removing the Riser Card Assembly“ in Section 3.2.
