Install a Carrier Extension
On double-wide PCIe card carriers, the carrier extension provides the additional airflow that is
required for proper cooling.
1.
Ensure that you have removed two PCIe card carriers from the server.
See “Remove a Card Carrier” on page 155. Retain the extra card carrier in a suitable storage
space in case you want to remove the carrier extension.
2.
Install the PCIe card.
See “Install a PCIe Card” on page 165.
3.
Align the rear flange on the carrier extension with the rear wall of the main
carrier, and swing the two components together.
