Installing PCI Add-in Cards
The right-side and left-side riser card options support different combinations of PCIe and/or PCI-X add-in
cards. See Table 7 for the possible configurations. The figures in this section use the left-side slot 2 riser
card assembly, a PCI Express passive riser, dual slot x8 and full-height x8 add-in card options as the
example.
CAUTION: When handling a PCI add-in card, observe the normal safety and ESD precautions. See Appendix
A: Safety Information for more information.
To install a PCI add-in card, you must first remove the riser card assembly from the server chassis. See
“Removing a Riser Card Assembly” in Section 3.2 for more information.
