Install a Full Height PCIe Card
This task also applies to half-height PCIe cards that are being installed in PCIe Risers.
If you are installing a x16 PCIe card in Riser 6, you must install the motherboard PCIe
Flyover cable in to slot 6 to enable support for a PCIe x16 electrical interface; otherwise, slot
6 supports only a PCIe x8 electrical interface. See Configure PCIe Electrical Interfaces Using
the PCIe Flyover Cable.
1. Unpack the replacement PCIe card, and place it on an antistatic mat.
2. Locate the proper PCIe slot for the card you are replacing.
PCIe slots 1 through 4 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems. See Back Panel
Components.
3. If necessary, remove the PCIe filler panel from the PCIe Riser slot.
Save this filler panel in case you need to remove the PCIe card from the system.
4. While holding the PCIe Riser in one hand, use your other hand to insert the PCIe card
into the correct slot on the PCIe Riser.
You hear an audible click when the PCIe card is secured into the slot.
5. Using a Torx (6 lobe) T10 screwdriver, install and tighten the screw to 8 in-lb (0.9 Nm/9.2
kg-cm) that secures the PCIe card bracket to the PCIe Riser.
