Before you Begin

The 400W AC power supply is auto-switching. This means that it will
automatically switch to match whatever source power you are using.
Since all products ship with a US/Canadian Standard 125V power cord,
you will need to use a locally available power cord for non-US Standard
power sources.

Install PCI Express Host Card

Begin the installation of your PCI Express (PCIe) host card by first
powering down your computer. Use the procedures for shutting down
your operating system and shutting off power to your system provided in
your owner's manual or system documentation.
The PCIe host card is a "half-height" PCIe card mounted to a "full-
height" bracket as shown below:
For low profile case applications, you may need to change the mounting
bracket to the low profile bracket that shipped with your system. This is
done by removing the screws that hold the card to the bracket.
Once the host computer is off and all power cords disconnected,
remove its cover and insert the PCI Express host card into a
vacant PCIe slot mechanically capable of fitting a x8 or larger card (the
PCIe Host is x8 wide mechanically). Then secure the card to the slot
with a mounting screw. Ensure that the DIP switch on the card is set in
the x4 position, since the chassis supports PCIe bandwidth no larger
than x4, even though the host supports bandwidths up to x8
Notice that the PCI Express slots are located at a greater distance from
the edge of the computer's mother-board than are the standard PCI
slots as illustrated in the following figure.
