installation method is the same.
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new riser card to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the new riser card out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
Step 2. Note the notch
1 on the riser card and ensure that the orientation of the riser card is correct as
shown. Then, align the screw holes in the new riser card with the corresponding ones in the bracket
and install the two screws to secure the riser card to the bracket.
