Installing System Components
5 Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the socket until the
memory module pops out of the socket. See Figure 3-10.
Handle each memory module only on either card edge, making sure not to
touch the middle of the memory module.
6 Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on
page 73.
7 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 71.
8 Reconnect the system and peripherals to their power sources, and turn
them on.
Expansion Cards and Expansion-Card Risers
Your system supports up to four PCI Express (PCIe) expansion cards installed
in connectors on an expansion-card riser. Expansion-card riser 1 provides four
x8 Generation 2 PCIe connectors.
CAUTION:
Expansion cards can only be installed in the slots on the
expansion-card riser. Do not attempt to install expansion cards directly into
the riser connector on the system board.
Expansion Card Installation Guidelines
• The expansion-card slots support full-height, half-length cards.
• The expansion-card slots are hot-swappable.
• PCI Express Generation 2 expansion cards are supported in all the slots.
• All the slots are x8 connectors.
CAUTION:
To ensure proper cooling, only one of the two expansion cards
can have a power consumption of greater than 15 W (up to 25 W maximum),
not including the integrated storage controller.
• Table 3-3 provides a guide for installing expansion cards to ensure proper
cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion cards with the highest priority
should be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All other
expansion cards should be installed in card priority and slot priority order.
