Installing an expansion card into expansion card riser
Prerequisites
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions on page 71.
2. Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation.
NOTE: For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
NOTE: When installing a card into the riser 1, open the PCIe card holder latch. If applicable, open the PCIe guide and
then install the expansion card.
Steps
1. If applicable, lift the expansion card latch and remove the filler bracket.
NOTE: Store the filler bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion card slots to
maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and
dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
