      Bottom side of M.2 cabled adapter

      1 Slot 4 / M.2 Bay 3

      2 Slot 6 / M.2 Bay 5

   2. If necessary, install an M.2 heat sink to the M.2 drive to be installed. See Install an M.2 heat sink.
   3. If necessary, adjust the retainer to accommodate the size of the M.2 drive to be installed. See Adjust the retainer on the M.2 adapter.
   4. Hold the M.2 drive at an angle, and insert the drive into the M.2 slot.
   5. Lower the rear side of the M.2 drive down to the M.2 adapter.
   6. Secure the M.2 drive with one screw.

   Note

   If necessary, repeat this procedure to other M.2 drives to be installed.

2. Install the M.2 cabled adapter to the riser cage.
   1. Route the M.2 cabled adapter signal cable through the hole in the middle of riser cage.
      Note

      For easier operation, route the branch of MCIO 1 connector first; then, route the branch of MCIO 2 connector.

Procedure

1. Install the PCIe cabled riser card to the riser cage.
   1. Align the riser card with the guide pins on the riser cage; then, push the riser card towards the riser cage until it is firmly seated.
   2. Secure the riser card with two screws.
   Figure 5. Installing the riser card
   
   
2. Install the PCIe adapter to the riser cage.
   1. (Optional) If a PCIe filler is installed in the slot, loosen the screw that secures the filler; then, remove the filler. Save the filler for future use.
   2. (Optional) If the holder is secured on the riser cage, loosen the screw that secures the holder; then, remove and save the holder for later use.
   3. Align the PCIe adapter with the slot; then, carefully slide the adapter into the slot until it is firmly seated.
      Note

      Make sure not to let the adapter touch the edge of the riser cage.
   4. Secure the PCIe adapter with one screw.
   5. Insert the holder into the corresponding slot to cover the corner of the PCIe adapter; then, secure the holder with one screw.
