Install a PCIe Card
To access a PCIe card, you must first remove its DPCC (see Remove a DPCC). One or two PCIe cards can be
installed in each Dual PCIe Card Carrier (DPCC).
Perform this procedure when replacing a PCIe card or when changing its
configuration.
Before You Begin
-
Prepare the server for hot service. See Prepare the Server for Hot Service.
Alternatively, to prepare the server for cold service, see Prepare the Server for Cold Service.
-
Identify the DPCC PCIe slot.
-
If necessary, remove the DPCC. See Remove a DPCC.
-
Orient the DPCC so that the hinge is to the left.
-
To open the top of the DPCC, lift the release latch at the non-hinged end
of the lid and rotate the lid upward and to the left.
-
Ensure that the DPCC top cover is open.
The top of the DPCC is hinged at one end. To open, lift the tab on the
non-hinged end.
-
Orient the PCIe card with the edge (or bus) connector facing downward and
the IO (or cable connector) facing to the left.
-
To install the card, align the edge connector with the slot in the DPCC
and push the card downward into the slot.
-
To close the top of the DPCC, rotate it to the right ensuring the clip on
the edge of the top is secured over the unhinged edge of the DPCC.
| Caution -
Pinch point. Keep fingers away from the underside of the top when
closing it.

-
Clear any related component faults. For more information see Clear Hardware Fault Messages.
