The server supports up to two PCIe riser boards. Each PCIe riser board holds up to three PCIe cards
each. The standard riser board configuration contains one riser board with one full-length, full-height PCIe
x8 slot, and two half-length, full-height PCIe x4 slots. The second board contains one full-length, full-
height PCIe x8 slot, and two half-length, half-height PCIe x4 slots.
The optional riser board configuration contains one riser board with one full-length, full-height PCIe x8
slot, and two half-length, full-height PCIe x4 slots. The second board contains one full-length, full-height
PCIe x16 slot.
Removing and replacing a half-length expansion board
Procedure
1. Power off the server (Powering off the server on page 138).
2. Extend the server from the rack (Extending the server from the rack on page 134).
3. Remove the access panel (Removing and replacing the access panel).
4. Disconnect any external cables that are connected to the expansion board.
5. Remove the PCI riser cage (Removing and replacing the PCI riser cage on page 153).
6. Disconnect any internal cables that are connected to the expansion board.
7. Remove expansion board.
