Install a Half Height PCIe Card

If you are installing an x16 PCIe card in slot 6, you must install the motherboard PCIe Flyover
cable in to slot 6 to enable support for a PCIe x16 electrical interface; otherwise, slot 6
supports only a PCIe x8 electrical interface. If you are installing a PCIe card in slot 7, you
must install the motherboard PCIe Flyover cable in slot 7 to support a PCIe x8 electrical
interface; otherwise, PCIe slot 7 is non-functional. See
Using the PCIe Flyover
Unpack the replacement PCIe card, and place it on an antistatic mat.
