Lenovo 1046 Server User Manual


 
This section provides instructions on how to install the riser card assembly. The riser card assembly might
have PCI card(s) installed on it.
To install the riser card assembly, do the following:
Note: Use any documentation that comes with the riser card and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this section.
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. Remove the server cover. See Removing the server cover.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the riser card to any unpainted metal surface on the
server. Then, remove the riser card from the static-protective package.
4. Position the riser card assembly in place so that you can press the riser card straight down into the PCI
card slot on the system board. See Locating parts on the system board. Then, install the two screws to
secure the riser card assembly in place. You might need a screw driver to make sure that the screws are
rmly tightened and the riser card assembly is securely installed. Do not over-tighten the screws.
Note: You might need to press the retaining latch of the slot to secure the riser card into the slot.
