Installing an expansion card to the PCIe x16 slot on

the butterfly riser card bracket

The pre-installed butterfly riser card bracket on the PCIEX16_6 slot has a PCIe x16 slot and

a PCIe x8 slot. The PCIe x16 slot provides x16 Gen4 link while the PCIe x8 slot provides x8

Gen4 link.

The pre-installed butterfly riser card bracket may come pre-installed with a NVMe expansion

card in the PCIe x16 slot, if you wish to install a new expansion card to this slot, please

remove the NVMe expansion card before installing new expansion cards.

To install PCIe x16 (Gen4 x16 link) proprietary cards, such as an HBA/RAID card to the PCIe

x16 slot on the butterfly riser card bracket:

Lift and remove the butterfly riser card bracket from the chassis.
