Installing a PCI Expansion Card
The system includes slots for PCI expansion cards. Riser cards position the expansion cards
at a 90 degree angle, allowing them to fit inside the 1U chassis. Slot 7 accommodates one
x8 and one x16 FHHL card.
Note:
Slot 7 is only supported if Slot 1 and Slot 2 are not used.
Installing a PCI Expansion Card
The riser cards have already been pre-installed into the motherboard. Perform the following
steps to install an add-on card:
1. Remove the top cover, if necessary.
2. Remove the screw as shown below.
