Attention:
• Read “Safety inspection checklist” on page 43 and “Installation Guidelines” on page 41 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.
Notes:
• The PCIe adapter might look different from the illustration.
• Make sure to read and follow the documentation that comes with the PCIe adapter.
PCIe slot support
• PCIe slot 1: PCI Express 4.0 x16 (FHHL 75W PCIe adapter)
• PCIe slot 2: PCI Express 3.0 x1 (FHHL, 25W PCIe adapter)
• PCIe slot 3: PCI Express 3.0 x4 in x16 slot (FHHL, 25W PCIe adapter)
Notes:
• The RAID adapter should be installed in PCIe slot 1.
• Pentium processor supports up to PCI Express 3.0.
• When installing PCIe x8/x16 adapter to PCIe Slot 3, the PCIe adapter performance might be degraded
due to the bandwidth of PCIe slot 3 (x4).
• For a list of the supported PCIe adapters, see
https://static.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/index.shtml.
• The PCIe adapter might look different from the illustration.
• Make sure to read and follow the documentation that comes with the PCIe adapter.
