If your computer can supply the required electric power and sufficient cooling, you can install multiple

Handling modules
The module contains solid-state devices that can withstand normal handling. However, do not drop the
module or expose it to excessive vibration.
Before installing hardware you must disconnect your computer from the power supply. Ensure
that a grounded (earthed) contact remains. Perform the installation with care, and follow all
safety instructions in this guide and from your computer manufacturer.
Static discharge can damage modules. Do not touch the PCIe connector pins, or the exposed
area of the module.
Leave the module in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Always wear an anti-static wrist
strap that is connected to a grounded metal object. You must also ensure that the computer frame is
grounded while you are installing or removing an internal module.
