Adding PCI-E Add-On Cards

The SC828TS-R1K43LPB chassis can accommodate four PCI low-profile expansion
card slots that are available in the rear of the chassis for two (2) PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots
(CPU1 Slot1, CPU2 Slot3) and two (2) PCI-E 3.0 x8 slots (CPU2 Slot2, CPU2
Slot4) of the X10QBL-(CT) serverboard.
Installing an Add-on Card
1. Begin by removing the PCI slot shield for the slot you wish to populate.
2. Fully seat the card into the riser card 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 shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering
each unused slot.
