PCI Express (PCIe) is a computer expansion card interface standard. It is the successor to the PCI and PCI-X bus standards and is used to connect a wide variety of peripherals to a computer's motherboard.
A PCIe card, such as a network adapter or storage controller, plugs into a PCIe slot on the motherboard. Each slot can have one or more lanes, and the number of lanes in a slot determines the card's potential data transfer rate. PCIe uses a serial interface, which means that data is sent and received one bit at a time, rather than in parallel like PCI and PCI-X. This allows for faster data transfer rates and more efficient use of the available bandwidth.
PCIe also supports hot-plugging, which means that cards can be added or removed while the computer is running, without the need to shut down the system first. This feature is useful for servers or other systems that need to be running continuously.
PCIe is available in different version and the most common are PCIe 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, and 4.0. Each version offers higher data transfer rates and more bandwidth than the previous version.
The H6188 Dell Riser Card is a component that is used to expand the number of expansion slots in a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server. It allows for the installation of additional PCI-Express cards, such as network adapters, storage controllers, and other peripherals. The riser card is designed specifically for the Dell PowerEdge 2950 and is not compatible with other server models.
It is a full-height riser card that can be installed in slot 1 or 2 of the server. The H6188 riser card provides one x8 PCI-Express slot and one x4 PCI-Express slot. It is a reliable and cost-effective way to expand the capabilities of the Dell PowerEdge 2950 server.
This allows for the expansion of the server's capabilities and the addition of new hardware, such as network adapters or storage controllers. The riser card connects to the motherboard of the PowerEdge 2950 and provides an additional slot for a PCIe card.
Installation and Setup InstructionsInstallation and setup instructions for the H6188 Dell Riser Card will vary depending on the specific model of the Dell PowerEdge 2950 server that it is being installed in. However, in general, the process should be as follows:
- Power off the server and unplug it from the power source.
- Open the server's case by removing the appropriate screws and sliding off the cover.
- Locate the appropriate PCIe slot on the motherboard. The H6188 riser card should be installed in a specific slot that is designated for it on the motherboard.
- Carefully align the riser card with the slot, making sure that the connectors on the card match up with the connectors on the motherboard. Gently press the card down into the slot until it is securely seated.
- Replace the server's cover and secure it with the appropriate screws.
- Reconnect the power cable and turn on the server.
- Once the server has booted up, you will need to install any necessary drivers for the card. The instructions for this will vary depending on the type of card that you have installed.
- Finally, you will need to configure the card using the appropriate software. This may include setting up network connections, creating RAID arrays, or configuring other settings.
It is important to read the manufacturer's instructions for the server and the riser card before attempting to install it. This will ensure that you are aware of any specific requirements or precautions that need to be taken.
