Leave the PCIe data and power cables attached to the PCIe card and place the
PCIe card on an antistatic mat. You will need to install the PCIe card in the
replacement PCIe riser.

Install a PCIe Riser
This task applies only to the back panel Riser configuration.
1. Unpack the replacement PCIe Riser, and place it on an antistatic mat.
2. Locate the proper PCIe slot (Riser 2 or Riser 6) for the Riser you are replacing.
See Back Panel Components.
3. If necessary, remove the PCIe filler panel from the PCIe slot on the PCIe riser.
Save this filler panel in case you need to remove the PCIe Riser from the system.
4. While holding the PCIe riser, insert supported full height or half height PCIe cards
into PCIe slots on the PCIe riser.
See Install a Full Height PCIe Card. See Install a Half Height PCIe Card.
5. Reconnect the cables to the PCIe card that you unplugged during the removal
procedure.
If it is difficult to reconnect the cables to the PCIe card when the card is inserted
into the PCIe slot, consider performing this procedure prior to inserting the PCIe
card in to the PCIe Riser slot.
6. 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.
7. Lower the PCIe riser in to the proper PCIe slot and press down until the riser is
firmly seated in the PCIe connector [1].
You hear an audible click when the PCIe card is secured into the slot.
