Riser Card Replacement - Lenovo HR650X V2 User Manual

• Read "Installation Guidelines" on page 25 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the PCIe adapter to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the PCIe adapter out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
Step 2. Locate the correct PCIe slot for the PCIe adapter. For information about the PCIe slots and
supported PCIe adapters, see "Rear view" on page 11.
Step 3. Install the PCIe adapter and secure it to the riser assembly.
Figure 54. PCIe adapter installation into the LP-FH riser assembly
a. Align the PCIe adapter with the PCIe slot on the riser card. Then, carefully press the PCIe
adapter straight into the slot until it is securely seated and its bracket also is secured.

Note: The procedure for installing a PCIe adapter is similar for different types of riser assembly. In
this topic, the LP-FH riser assembly is used as an example.
Step 4. Connect the cables to the PCIe adapter in the riser assembly.
After you finish
1. Reinstall the riser assembly. See "Install a riser card" on page 83.
