Installing or removing a PCIe card

Your server comes with seven PCI Express (PCIe) card slots. Depending on your needs, you can install a PCIe
card to obtain the corresponding function or remove the card if necessary. The PCIe card can be an Ethernet
card, a host bus adapter, a PCIe RAID card, a PCIe interposer card, a PCIe solid-state drive, or any other
supported PCIe cards. PCIe cards vary by type, but the installation and removal procedures are the same.
Note: The PCIe cards are sensitive to ESD. Ensure that you read and understand "Handling static-sensitive
devices" on page 70 first and carefully perform the operation.
Installing a PCIe card
Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding "Read this first: safety
information" on page iii and "Guidelines" on page 69.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Notes:
• Depending on the specific type, the PCIe card might look different from the illustrations in this topic.
• Use any documentation that comes with the PCIe card and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this topic.
• Ensure that you back up your data before installing a RAID card because you might need to reconfigure
RAID and reinstall the operating system after installing the RAID card.
