Installing an expansion board
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server and
remove all ac power cords before removing or installing the expansion boards.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all expansion slots have either an expansion slot cover or an expansion board installed.
IMPORTANT: Install high powered graphics cards in PCIe 16x slots for optimum performance.
The server can power a maximum of four auxiliary high powered graphics card power
connections.
To install a non-hot-plug expansion board:
1. Power down the server (“Power down the server” (page 31)).
2. Extend or remove the server from the rack (“Extending the server from the rack” (page 31)).
3. Remove the access panel (“Removing the access panel” (page 32)).
