With some computer models, you may have to remove the PCI retainer bracket.
In such a case, once you've drained static electricity from your body and removed
the RT.X2 card from its antistatic bag (see
RT.X2 card" on page 6), simply remove the screws holding the bracket in place
and then carefully remove the bracket.
Preparing the internal power supply cable on

¦ Note RT.X2 LE and RT.X2 SD do not have an internal power supply cable.
Your RT.X2 card must be powered by your computer's internal power supply by
way of the internal power supply cable. The female end of the internal power
supply cable is connected to the internal power supply connector on the RT.X2
card at the factory. If for any reason the internal power supply cable is not
connected to the RT.X2 card, connect it as follows:
