three PCI Express Gen3 adapter slots. See “PCI riser-card adapter expansion
slot locations” on page 21 for the location of the respective PCI-e slots on the
riser card assembly. Regarding the respective PCI-e slots on the riser-card
assembly and system board, the microprocessor to which each slot is connected
and the supported adapters that you can install in each slot, please see the

To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 35.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external cables (see “Turning off the server” on page 24).
3. Remove the server top cover (see “Removing the server top cover” on page
44).
4. If you have the optional hot-swap rear hard disk drive cage installed, rotate it
up (see “Rotating the optional hot-swap rear hard disk drive cage up” on page
46).
5. Remove the PCI riser-card assembly (see “Removing the PCI riser-card
assembly” on page 46).
6. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
7. The following illustrates the steps for removing an adapter from different PCI
riser-card assemblies:

a. Rotate the retention latch to the open position. Insert the adapter into
the PCI riser-card assembly, aligning the edge connector on the adapter
with the connector on the PCI riser-card assembly. Press the edge of
the connector firmly into the PCI riser-card assembly. Make sure that the
adapter snaps into the PCI riser-card assembly securely.
b. Rotate the retention latch to the close position. Make sure the retention
latch engages the adapter securely; then, push in the release pin to lock
the retention latch in place.
