The Intel
®
Server Boards S5000PAL and S5000XAL provide two PCI riser slots, one supporting
a low profile add-in card riser, and the other used for full height add-in card risers. The riser
cards for these slots are not interchangeable due to their orientation on the board and connector
differences. The low profile riser slot is only capable of supporting a riser using PCI Express*
cards. The full height riser slot is capable of supporting risers that follow either the PCI-X* or
PCI Express specifications.
The riser assembly for the server chassis is tool-less. Stand-offs allow the riser cards to slide
onto the assembly where a latching mechanism than holds each riser in place. Holding down
the latch releases the risers for easy removal.
When re-inserting the riser assembly into the chassis, tabs on the back of the assembly should
be aligned with slots on the back edge of the chassis. The tabs fit into the slots securing the
riser assembly to the chassis when the top cover is in place.
The riser assembly provides two blue extraction levers to assist with riser assembly removal
from the riser slots.
