6-10 Expansion Slot Setup

Each node drawer includes a slot for one low profile, half length PCI-Express
expansion card and one Zero-slot expansion card. That is a total of four of each
type in the system.
The Zero-slot provides a spot for a proprietary form factor card, such as the AOC-
PTG-i1S 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter card. This offers an extra high-speed LAN
connection in a 1U chassis. This card is mounted without the need for a riser card.
Installing Expansion Cards (Figure 6-12)
1. Power down the node and remove the drawer.
2. Remove the riser card and riser card bracket from the drawer.
3. Pull open the PCI slot clip in the rear of the drawer.
4. Slide the temporary PCI slot shield toward the slot clip and remove it from the
drawer chassis.
5. Insert the expansion card to the riser card expansion slot.
6. Insert the riser card into the serverboard expansion slot while positioning the
bracket in the drawer and the expansion card shield in the PCI slot of the
drawer chassis.
7. Secure the expansion card bracket to the drawer chassis and attach the PCI
slot clip in the rear of the drawer.
The riser card and riser card bracket are not normally separated.
