Install a PCIe Carrier Extension
Some PCIe cards must be installed with PCIe card carrier extension. The carrier extension provides the additional airflow that is required for proper cooling.
- Ensure
that you have removed two adjacent PCIe card carriers from the server.
See Remove a PCIe Card Carrier. Retain the extra card carrier in a suitable storage space in case you want to remove the carrier extension later.
Note - To ensure proper system cooling, all PCIe slots must be occuped with a PCIe card carrier or carrier extension. - Install the PCIe card.
See Install a PCIe Card.
- Align the rear flange on the
carrier extension with the rear wall of the main carrier, and swing
the two components together until they latch into place.
