Installing or Replacing a PCIe Card
This document describes how to install a new PCIe card
or remove and replace an existing PCIe card or riser in a
SnapServer 2000 Series server or REO 4600 appliance.

equipment, always remove any power cords while working with
the unit.
AVERTISSEMENT: pour réduire le risque de choc électrique ou
endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les
cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.
CAUTION: While working with the unit, observe standard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent damage
to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.
Depending on your server model, the SnapServer 2000
Series of products includes, or can be upgraded to
include, the following PCIe cards:
• RAID Controller Card

• Parallel SCSI Card
• Ethernet Card
The REO 4600 appliance includes, or can be upgraded
