Install the PCIe adapters and riser assemblies
See this topic to learn how to install the PCIe adapters and riser assemblies.
About this task
- Before installing the PCIe riser assemblies, make sure to complete installation and cable routing of trayless drives and the drive cage.
- Make sure the required PCIe cables for the planned configuration are connected to the risers. See the following table for the required cables for each configuration, and connect the cable end with corresponding printing to the riser connector.
Table 1. Required PCIe cables for PCIe riser assemblies (300mm chassis) Riser 1 Riser 2 x16 x16/x8 x16x16 x16 x8/x16 x16x16 Riser-card connector 3 (Right angle) RISER3 Riser-card connector 1 (Right angle) RISER1 Riser-card connector 2 (Vertical) RISER2/0 RISER2/0 Riser-card connector 0 (Vertical) RISER2/0 RISER2/0 - Full-length adapters are supported in the configurations with 1U heat sink installed in 360mm chassis. Make sure the adapter to be installed is supported in the selected configuration.
