Step 4: Install the Module

Step 4: Install the Module
1. Ensure that the PC is switched off, and disconnect the power cord. Open the PC case.
Follow ESD precautions when handling and installing the U5309A.
2. The U5309A features a x8 PCIe bus interface, and should be installed in either a x8 or x16 slot.
3. When installing the U5309A ensure that it has optimum cooling, do not install it in a position where the
integrated cooling fans may be obstructed.
4. The module requires an additional auxiliary power connection to the white connector at top edge of the
module. If your PC has a free 'floppy drive power' connector, simply attach this.
If your PC does not have a free connector of this type you may use one of the two supplied adapters.
If your PC has spare 4-pin Molex power connectors, use the supplied adapter 8121-2531.
l
If your PC only has the newer SATA power connectors, use the supplied adapter 8121-2533.

5. Replace any covers and switch-on the PC. Check the module front panel indicators - a few seconds after the
boot process, both the 'Status' and 'DPU' LEDs should be green.
When disconnecting the auxiliary power cable, it is important to push it away from the PCB side of
the U5309A in order to disengage the friction lock. Failure to do this could cause the module side of the
connector to be withdrawn at the same time thus damaging it.
