Installing a Low-Profile Expansion Card
The F414IS4 chassis supports two low-profile expansion cards in each of the four nodes
for a total of eight expansion cards in the chassis. Each expansion card connects to the
motherboard with a riser card.
Installing a Low-Profile Expansion Card into a Node
1. Power down the node with the operating system and remove the cord from the rear of
the power supply as described in Section 3-1. Remove the node from the chassis and
remove the node cover as described previously in this section.
2. Remove the four screws securing the riser card bracket to the node and set them aside
for later use.
3. Remove the mounting screw which secures the PCI-E slot cover in the riser card
bracket and set this aside for later use.
4. Remove the PCI-E slot cover by sliding it sideways and out of the PCI-E slot and set
this screw aside for later use.
5. Lift the riser card bracket up and out of the chassis.
6. Assemble the riser card as illustrated below, by simultaneously connecting the
expansion card to the riser card, while sliding the PCIE slot cover into the PCI-E slot.
7. Secure the PCI-E slot cover into the PCI-E slot with the screw previously set aside.
8. Insert the riser card into the motherboard and secure the riser card bracket to the node
with the screws previously set aside.
9. Place the node cover on top of the node and secure it with the eight screws previously
used for this purpose.
10. Return the node to the chassis, plug the power cord into the rear of the power supply
and power up the node.
