Install a PCIe adapter and riser assembly
Use this information to install a PCIe adapter and riser assembly.
About this task
There are different types of riser assembly configurations. The procedure for installing the riser card and PCIe
adapter is similar for all types of riser assembly. The following takes the LPFH riser assembly as an example.
Attention:
• Read “Installation guidelines” on page 92 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.

Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the PCIe adapter to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the PCIe adapter out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
Step 2. Locate the correct PCIe slot for the PCIe adapter. For information about the PCIe slots and
supported PCIe adapters, see “Rear view” on page 36.
Step 3. Remove the PCIe slot filler if there is a filler installed.
Step 4. Install the PCIe adapter and secure it to the riser assembly.

a. Align the PCIe adapter with the PCIe slot on the riser card. Then, carefully press the PCIe
adapter straight into the slot until it is securely seated and its bracket also is secured.
b. Pivot the latch on the riser bracket to the closed position.
