Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the device, and then remove the adapter from the
static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-plated edge
connectors on the adapter.
Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
When you install an adapter in the device, be sure that it is completely and
correctly seated in the PCI expansion slot before you power up the device.
Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter.
To install the adapter, carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners,
align it with the expansion slot in the riser card assembly, and then press the
adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Reinstall the riser card. Make sure that the riser card is fully seated in the riser
card connectors on the system board.

resources. The BIOS displays the total amount of installed memory and the
amount of configured memory.
