2.6.1 Installing an expansion card to the PCIe riser card bracket The pre-installed PCIe riser card bracket on the PCIE1 slot has two PCIe x16 slots and one PCIe x8 slot. The two PCIe x16 slots provides x16 Gen4 links, with the top PCIe slot's signal provided from CPU1 and the bottom PCIe slot's signal coming from CPU2. The PCIe x8 slot is reserved only for a PIKE II card. To install PCIe x16 (Gen4 x16 link), proprietary cards such as a graphics card to the PCIe riser card bracket: 1. Remove the butterfly riser card bracket installed on the PCIE2 slot. For more information please refer to Installing an expansion card to the butterfly riser card bracket. 2. Loosen the thumbscrews (A) securing the PCIe riser card bracket to the chassis, then lift the PCIe riser card bracket out of the chassis by firmly holding it by the two tabs (B) and pulling it upwards to detach it from the PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard.

Installing an expansion card to the PCIe riser card

bracket

The pre-installed PCIe riser card bracket on the PCIE1 slot has two PCIe x16 slots and one

PCIe x8 slot. The two PCIe x16 slots provides x16 Gen4 links, with the top PCIe slot’s signal

provided from CPU1 and the bottom PCIe slot’s signal coming from CPU2. The PCIe x8 slot

is reserved only for a PIKE II card.

To install PCIe x16 (Gen4 x16 link), proprietary cards such as a graphics card to the PCIe

riser card bracket:

Remove the butterfly riser card bracket installed on the PCIE2 slot. For more

information please refer to

Installing an expansion card to the butterfly riser card

bracket

Loosen the thumbscrews (A) securing the PCIe riser card bracket to the chassis, then

lift the PCIe riser card bracket out of the chassis by firmly holding it by the two tabs (B)

and pulling it upwards to detach it from the PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard.
