Install a Half Height PCIe Card

If you are installing an x16 PCIe card in slot 6, you must install the motherboard PCIe Flyover cable in to slot 6 to enable support for a PCIe x16 electrical interface; otherwise, slot 6 supports only a PCIe x8 electrical interface. If you are installing a PCIe card in slot 7, you must install the motherboard PCIe Flyover cable in slot 7 to support a PCIe x8 electrical interface; otherwise, PCIe slot 7 is non-functional. See Configure PCIe Electrical Interfaces Using the PCIe Flyover Cable.

Unpack the replacement PCIe card, and place it on an antistatic mat.
Before replacing or installing a PCIe card, refer to the card documentation for specific installation and cabling instructions.
Locate the proper PCIe slot for the card you are replacing.
PCIe slots 1 through 4 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems. See Back Panel Components.
If necessary, remove the PCIe filler panel from the slot.
Save this filler panel in case you need to remove the PCIe card from the system.
Insert the PCIe card into the correct slot [1], and rotate the PCIe locking mechanism downward to secure the PCIe card in place [2].

You hear an audible click when the PCIe card is secured into the slot.

If it is difficult to reconnect the cables to the PCIe card when the card is inserted into the PCIe slot, consider performing the procedure in Step 5 before completing this step.
Reconnect the cables to the PCIe card that you unplugged during the removal procedure [2].
To ensure proper SAS cable connections to the Broadcom 9500-16i, 12GB SAS PCIe, 16 Port, Internal card, see the SAS cabling reference table in Step 3 in Install SAS Storage Drive Cables.
Return the server to operation.
1. Install the top cover.
  
  See Install the Server Top Cover.
2. Return the server to the normal rack position.
  
  See Return the Server to the Normal Rack Position.
3. Connect any required data cables to the PCIe card.
  
  (Optional) Route data cables through the Cable Management Arm (CMA).
4. Reconnect the power cords to the power supplies and power on the server.
  
  See Reconnect Power and Data Cables and Power On the Server.
5. Verify that the System OK LED is lit.
Use Oracle ILOM to clear any server PCIe card faults.

If a PCIe card fault message in Oracle ILOM is not cleared under Open Problems, you must manually clear the fault using Oracle ILOM. Refer to "Clear Faults for Undetected Replaced or Repaired Hardware Components" in the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics at Oracle ILOM Documentation.
To determine whether additional steps are required to complete the installation of the PCIe card, refer to the server product notes for the type of PCIe card you installed.
