Gen5 riser card
Use the section to understand the cable routing for front riser assembly (Gen5).
For the locations of front PCIe adapter connector on the processor board, see System-board-assembly connectors for details.
The following illustrations and tables list the front PCIe adapters supported:
Cable routing with one x8 PCIe riser card and one x16 PCIe riser card
Figure 1. Cable routing with one x8 PCIe riser card and one x16 PCIe riser card


From | To |
---|---|
1 Power connectors on Risers 3 and 4 | 1 Internal RAID power connector and backplane power connector on the processor board, and power connector on the front backplane |
2 MCIO 1 connector on Riser 3 | 2 PCIe connector 4 on the processor board |
3 MCIO 1 and MCIO 2 connectors on Riser 4 | 3 PCIe connectors 1 and 2 on the processor board |
Cable routing with two x8 PCIe riser cards
