PCIe/FlexibleLOM riser options

I/O modules are specific to each server and are installed in the rear of the chassis. For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

To install the component:

  1. Power down the server associated with the I/O module.
  2. Remove the server associated with the I/O module.
  3. If an I/O module blank is not installed in the associated even-numbered I/O module bay, install an I/O module blank in the associated even-numbered bay.
