Install a PCIe Card

1. Determine your first step.
   • If you are installing a new PCIe card and need an empty PCIe card carrier, see Remove a PCIe Card Carrier.
   • If you are replacing a faulty PCIe card and have already removed its carrier from the server, go to Step 2.
2. Remove the PCIe card from its packaging.
3. Insert the PCIe card into the PCIe card carrier until the bottom connector is firmly seated in the PCIe card carrier's connector.

   Caution  -  Do not twist or turn the PCIe card as you insert it into the PCIe card carrier. Ensure that the PCIe card's connector is fully seated in the PCIe card carrier's slot, and that the notch in the PCIe card's rear bulkhead is seated around the PCIe carrier's alignment tab.
