Use the PCI retainer brackets
Install non-DigiSuite cards first!
Chapter 2: Installing the DigiSuite Hardware
Almost all computers contain card guides at the front end of the computer
chassis. These help to stabilize cards. Since PCI cards are neither long
enough nor correctly centered to use these guides, some of the PCI-based
DigiSuite cards are equipped with a PCI retainer bracket. The following
diagram depicts the retainer bracket's use:

It's important to install any non-DigiSuite cards in your system before
installing your DigiSuite cards. If you don't do so, your DigiSuite system
may not work properly.
In addition, try to leave empty slots between your DigiSuite card sets
and non-DigiSuite cards if it's possible. This will permit additional air
flow between cards. For more details, see
