Installing an expansion card to the PCIe riser card
bracket
The PCIe riser card bracket that is pre-installed on PCIe slot A has two PCIe x16 slots. The
two PCIe x16 slots provide x16 Gen5 links, with the top PCIe slot's signal provided from
CPU1 and the bottom PCIe slot's signal from CPU1.
To install PCIe x16 (Gen5 x16 link) proprietary cards, such as a graphics card, to the PCIe
riser card bracket:
1.
Remove the butterfly riser card bracket installed on PCIe slot B. For more information,
refer to Installing an expansion card to the butterfly riser card bracket.

Lift the PCIe riser card bracket out of the chassis by firmly holding the tab (A) and
pulling it upwards (B) to detach it from PCIe slot A on the motherboard.
