* If the slot is available.
Note: Slot 1 and Slot 3 in the ST250 V2 are open-end design, which means that the slots can accept
adapters with a longer edge connector than the physical length of the slot connector. For example, if a x8
adapter is installed in the x4 slot 3 of the server, half of the edge connector will not be connected to the slot.
The adapter will still function, however performance will be impacted.
Procedure
Step 1. Lay the server on its side for easier operation.
Step 2. Locate the applicable PCIe slot (see
PCIe slots in your server).
Step 3. If a bracket is installed in the PCIe slot, remove it. Save the bracket for future use.
Step 4. Open the retaining clip, and position the PCIe adapter over the slot.
Step 5. Install a PCIe adapter.
a. Carefully press the PCIe adapter straight down until it is seated in the slot.
b. Close the retaining clip to secure the PCIe adapter in place.
