Attention:
v When you route cables, do not block any connectors or the ventilated space
around any of the fans.
v Make sure that cables are not routed on top of components under the PCI
riser-card assembly.
v Make sure that cables are not pinched by the server components.
3. Align the PCI riser-card assembly with the selected PCI connector on the
system board:
v PCI-riser connector 1: Carefully fit the two alignment slots on the side of the
assembly onto the two alignment brackets on the side of the chassis; align
the rear of the assembly with the guides on the rear of the server.
v PCI-riser connector 2: Carefully align the bottom edge (the contact edge) of
the riser-card assembly with the riser-card connector on the system board;
align the rear of the assembly with the guides on the rear of the server.
4. Press down on the assembly. Make sure that the riser-card assembly is fully
seated in the riser-card connector on the system board.
5. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter.
6. Install the server cover (see “Installing the cover” on page 178).
