92 Installing System Components
Installing a Non-Redundant Power Supply
1 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 82.
2 Place the power supply on the chassis. See Figure 3-8. Tighten the screw to
secure the power supply to the chassis.
3 Connect all the power cables to the system board, hard drive(s), and
optical drive.
4 Replace the system cover. See "Closing the System" on page 83.
5 Connect the power cable to the power supply and plug the cable into a
power outlet.
Expansion Cards
Expansion Card Installation Guidelines
Your system supports one x16 Gen1 or Gen2 PCIe expansion card installed in
connectors on an expansion-card riser.
CAUTION: Expansion cards can only be installed in the slots on the expansion-
card riser. Do not attempt to install expansion cards directly into the riser
connector on the system board.
• The expansion slot supports full-height, half-length cards.
• The expansion-card slot is not hot-swappable.
• PCI Express Generation 1 and Generation 2 expansion cards are supported
in the slot.
CAUTION: To ensure proper cooling, only one of the two expansion cards can
have a power consumption of greater than 15W (up to 25W maximum), not
including the integrated storage controller.
• Table 3-1 provides a guide for installing expansion cards to ensure proper
cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion cards with the highest priority
should be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All other
expansion cards should be installed in card priority and slot priority order.
