Installing Expansion Cards
The 2029P-TXRT system includes eleven slots for expansion cards. The serverboard must
be installed before expansion cards.
Installing an Expansion Card for an LP Model Chassis
1. Power down the system and remove the cover.
2. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI slot you wish to populate. Make sure that the
card you are installing is supported by the slot (see the table below).
3. In the rear of the chassis, remove the blank PCI shield that is pre-installed covering the
expansion slot.
4. Slide the expansion card into the expansion slot on the serverboard while aligning it with
the chassis slot in the rear of the chassis.
5. Secure the expansion card shield onto the rear of the chassis with a screw.
