Adding PCI Expansion Cards

The 6028TP-HC1R/HC1TR/HC1FR includes one preinstalled riser card per node,
designed specifically for use in the SC827HQ+-R2K02B 2U rackmount chassis. This
riser card supports one low-profile PCI Express x16 card to fit inside the chassis
for each node.
Installing an Expansion Card
1. After powering down the system, remove the PCI slot shield.
2. Fully seat the card into the slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on
both sides of the card.
3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.
The PCI slot shield protects the serverboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure it is always in place.
