PCIe adapter replacement
Use this information to remove and install a PCIe adapter.
Your server comes with six PCIe slots. Depending on your needs, you can install a PCIe adapter to obtain the
corresponding function or remove the adapter if necessary. The PCIe adapter can be an Ethernet adapter, a
host bus adapter, a RAID adapter, a graphics adapter, or any other supported PCIe adapters. PCIe adapters
vary by type, but the installation and removal procedures are the same.
