Replacing a PCIe Riser
The older PCIe risers UCSC-PCIE-RL-C240= and UCSC-PCIE-RR-C240= are compatible only with the
Note
older version V01 chassis, and have been obsoleted. These parts have been replaced by a new single item
(UCSC-GPUKIT1-C240=), which contains left and right risers along with additional hardware to
facilitate installation of NVIDIA GPU cards. Order the new UCSC-GPUKIT1-C240= if riser
replacement is required on any version of the C240 chassis, or if a version V01 chassis must be upgraded
to support an NVIDIA GPU card. See also
The server contains two toolless PCIe risers for horizontal installation of PCIe cards. PCIe riser 2 also
includes two internal sockets for SD cards. See
the PCIe slots on the risers.

Disconnect external cables from any PCIe cards that are installed in the PCIe riser.

If the riser has a card installed, remove the card from the riser.
To remove a card, push down on the retaining clip on the hinged card retainer and then swing open
