Install a PCIe Carrier Extension
Some PCIe cards must be installed with PCIe card carrier extension. The carrier extension
provides the additional airflow that is required for proper cooling.
1.
Ensure that you have removed two adjacent PCIe card carriers from the server.
See “Remove a PCIe Card Carrier” on page 158. Retain the extra card carrier in a suitable
storage space in case you want to remove the carrier extension later.
Note - To ensure proper system cooling, all PCIe slots must be occuped with a PCIe card carrier
or carrier extension.
2.
Install the PCIe card.
