4.7 Installing a PCI Riser Card

The NSN2U server does not ship with a PCI riser card, just the sheet metal bracket

where the riser card and PCI add-in cards are housed. There are three different PCI

riser card options that all use the same header connection on the T5520 UR server

board:

2U PCIe “butterfly” riser (three full-height/full-length PCIe x8 slots and two low-

profile PCIe x4 slots

2U PCIe/PCI-X “butterfly” riser (two PCI-X 133 slots, one full-height/full-length

PCIe x8 slot, and two low-profile PCIe x4 slots)

2U PCIe passive riser (three full-height/full-length PCIe x8 slots)

In this section, the riser card example is a full-height, full-length riser, as shown

in Figure 36.

CAUTION: When handling the riser card, observe normal safety and ESD precautions. (See

Appendix A: Safety Information” for more information.

To install the riser card in the sheet metal bracket:
1. Remove the back chassis cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Back Cover” in

Section 3.2.

2. Remove the riser card assembly from the chassis and place it upside-down. For

instructions, see “Removing the Riser Card Assembly“ in Section 3.2.

3. Holding the riser card upside-down with the edge connector on top, line the keyhole

features up with the standoffs on the bracket. (Figure 36, “A”)
