Adding PCI Add-On Cards

The 8045C-3R can accommodate standard size add-on cards installed into all the
PCI slots included on the X7QC3.
Installing an Add-on Card
1. Begin by removing the PCI slot shield for the slot you wish to populate.
2. Fully seat the card into the riser card slot, pushing down with your thumbs
evenly on both sides of the card.
3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.
The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering
each unused slot.
