how to install Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 x8ML2/x16 PCIe LP+FH Riser 1 Kit

• Power down the server, unplug all cables, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling any components.
• Open the server chassis and locate the PCIe riser slots appropriate for the SR630 platform and backplane layout.
• If an existing riser is present, carefully remove it by loosening mounting screws and disconnecting any attached cables or brackets, keeping track of fasteners for reassembly.
• Align the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 x8ML2/x16 PCIe LP+FH Riser 1 Kit with the slot connectors and firmly seat it to ensure proper PCIe signaling contact.
• Secure the riser with the manufacturer-recommended screws or mounting hardware, reattach any cables, and close the chassis access panels.
• Power on the server, enter the system BIOS/UEFI, and confirm the riser is detected. In the operating system, verify that all PCIe devices mounted on the riser are enumerated correctly and functioning as expected.
