Install the PCIe cards in the replacement DPCC. See

“Install a PCIe

Card” on page 188

Install the DPCC into the server. See

“Install a DPCC” on page 191

Note -

The DPCC install procedure includes instructions for using the Attn buttons on the

DPCC to alert the OS.

PCIe Card and DPCC Reference

This section contains reference information for PCIe cards and DPCCs, including DPCC

population rules.

Server PCIe Card Capabilities

The server contains nine low-profile PCIe slots, eight Gen 3 DPCC slots, accessible at the

rear of the server, and one Gen 2 slot, which is located internally (and not directly accessible)

on the system module (SMOD). This internal slot is used for server HBA and provides SAS

connectivity to the server storage drives.

Dual PCIe Card Carriers (DPCCs)

The server contains eight hot-service PCIe Gen 3 DPCCs. Each DPCC has two low-profile

PCIe Gen 3 slots, an 8-lane slot and a 16-lane slot. Each DPCC can contain up to two PCIe

cards.

DPCCs connect directly to connectors on the back of the CMODs, so DPCCs and CMODs have

a one-to-one relationship with one another. In a four CMOD-configured server, the first four
