Installing the Cable Retention Bracket

Insert the hooks and tabs of the cable retention bracket into the slots in

the chassis wall and slide the bracket back until the latch engages.

Install the cooling fan bracket. See "Replacing the Fan Bracket."

Install the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud."

Expansion Cards and Expansion-Card Risers

The system supports up to four PCI Express (PCIe) expansion cards on two

expansion-card risers.

• Expansion-card riser 1 provides two

PCIe x4-link Gen 2 expansion slots.

• Expansion-card riser 2 is offered in two versions:

– The standard expansion-card riser 2 provides two

PCIe x8-link Gen 2

expansion slots.

– The optional expansion-card riser 2 provides one PCIe x16-link

Gen 2

expansion slot.

CAUTION: Expansion cards can only be plugged into the slots on the expansion-

card risers. Do not plug any expansion cards into the riser connectors on the

system board.

To identify expansion slots, see "Expansion-Card Riser-Board Components

and PCIe Buses."

Expansion Card Installation Guidelines

Observe the following notes and guidelines regarding the expansion-card

slots:

• PCI Express Generation 2 and Generation 1 expansion cards are supported

in all slots.

• In slots 2, 3, and 4, expansion cards can have a maximum length of

24.13

cm (9.5 in). Slot 1 supports a full-length (30.99-cm [12.2-in]) expansion

card.

• The system supports three full-height expansion cards and one low-profile

expansion card (slot 2).

• Although slots 1 and 2 are physically PCIe x8 connectors, they function

only as PCIe x4-link slots.
