PCIe Host Interface card Installation
Begin the installation of your PCI Express (PCIe) host card by first powering down your computer.
The PCIe host card is a "half-height," x8-capable PCIe card mounted to a "full-height" bracket as shown
below.
For low profile case applications, you may need to change the mounting bracket to the low profile bracket
that shipped with your system. This is done by removing the screws that hold the card to the bracket. Be
sure
you are using proper ESD procedures when completing this action.
