Install a PCIe Riser Into PCIe Slot 1 or 2
Note -
The PCIe riser that is installed for PCIe slots 3 and 4 is different than
the risers for PCIe slots 1 and 2. Do not attempt to install a PCIe riser
from slot 1 or 2 into PCIe slots 3 and 4 and vice versa.
-
Determine into which slot you will install the PCIe riser.
-
Retrieve the PCIe riser and any PCIe cards attached to it.
-
Raise the green-tabbed release lever on the PCIe riser to the open (up)
position (1).
-
Gently press the riser into the motherboard connector until it is seated,
and then press the green-tabbed release lever on the PCIe riser to the
closed (down) position (2).
-
Close the green-tabbed latch on the rear of the server chassis next to the
applicable PCIe slot to secure the rear bracket on the PCIe card to the
server chassis (3).
Note -
If the riser does not have a PCIe card installed, install a PCIe slot
filler panel and close the green-tabbed latch to secure the filler
panel.
-
If there were any external cables connected to the PCIe card, reconnect
them.
-
Return the server to operation.
See Returning the Server to Operation.

Use Oracle ILOM to clear the server PCIe riser fault.
If the PCIe riser fault message in Oracle ILOM is not cleared under Open
Problems, you must manually clear the fault in Oracle ILOM. For instructions
for manually clearing a PCIe riser fault, see the procedure "Clear Faults
for Undetected Replaced or Repaired Hardware Components" in the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and
Diagnostics Firmware Release 3.2.x in
the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.2 Documentation Library at
