Install a PCIe riser
Follow instructions in this section to install a PCIe riser.
About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 121 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 122 to ensure that
you work safely.
• Touch the static-protective package that contains the component to any unpainted metal surface on the
server; then, remove it from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
Note: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server without a PCIe riser or a rise filler
installed in the chassis.
