Install/Replace a PCIe Expansion Card
Install/Replace a Low-profile or Full-height PCIe Card
007-5839-001
Confirm that you have the correct PCIe card for your chassis and the card includes a standard
bracket. The following type card is supported in the server chassis:
•
One low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 card
•
One optional full-height PCIe 3.0 x16 card (optional if only front GPU slots are populated)
Figure 6-8
PCIe Low-profile and Optional Full-height Slot Locations
Use the following steps and illustration to install or replace a PCIe card at the rear of the system:
1.
Remove the chassis cover and disconnect both the power cables from the server.
2. Confirm that you have the correct size and type of PCIe expansion card (low-profile or
full-height depending on the slot used).
Note: If your system uses three GPU boards then the x16 full-height PCIe slot is not usable.
3. Remove the screw securing the low-profile or full-height PCIe slot cover at the rear of the
chassis and slide it sideways to remove from the chassis.
4. Select the appropriate riser connector for your low-profile card. Note that both the
low-profile and full-height riser cards use a x16 connector.
5. Align the PCIe card with the rear slot opening and the riser connector, then simultaneously
slide the rear bracket into place as you insert the PCIe connector into the riser.
6. Secure the rear bracket in the slot with the screw removed in step 3 and connect cables to the
add-on card as necessary. See
