A PCIe-support riser card has already been pre-installed into each of the four serverboards. The
riser accepts only low-profile PCIe option boards. The board must be less than 5.9 inches (15 cm)
in length.
Perform the following steps to install a low-profile PCIe add-on card:
1. Power off the server.
2. Use a phillips-head screwdriver to remove the retention screw to the left of the PCIe slot (see
Figure 6-6 for an example).
3. Slide the rectangular PCIe retention tab to the left.
