Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.

  2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
  3. If applicable, install the expansion card(s) into the expansion card riser. For more information, see Installing expansion cards section.

Steps

  1. Align the expansion card riser cage with the guide pin on the system board and the guide slot on the chassis.
  2. Lower the expansion card riser cage and press it until it clicks into place.
