Installing the Add-on Card

Follow the steps below to install the add-on card into your system.
1. Remove the server cover and, if necessary, set aside any screws for later
use.
2. Remove the add-on card slot cover. If the case requires a screw, place the
screw aside for later use.
3. Position the add-on card in the slot directly over the connector, and gently
push down on both sides of the card until it slides into the PCI connector.
4. Secure the add-on card to the chassis. If required, use the screw that you
previously removed.
5. Attach any necessary external cables to the add-on card.
6. Replace the chassis cover.
7. Plug the power cord into the wall socket, and power up the system.
8. Replace the chassis cover.
Note: This add-on card is designed to support the standard low-profile
PCI-Express form factor; however, it may not fit in your chassis due to the
physical dimensions of the card.
