ASUS PCI-SIU2 User’s Manual
Installing the PCI-SIU2 Host Adapter
1
Power down the host computer and all peripherals
Remove the cover from the host system. You may need to refer to the
system manual for cover removal. If necessary, identify the PCI sock-
ets inside the host system with the aid of the system documentation.
2
Use static electricity discharge precautions
Remove possible static discharge potential from any objects that the
host adapter may come in contact with before installation. This can be
accomplished by touching a bare metal chassis rail after you have turned
off the power.
3
Inserting the host adapter
Orient the host adapter for installation so that the external connector is
facing the back of the system unit and align the card with the PCI
connector on the system unit (see FIGURE 6). Holding the adapter by
the mounting bracket and the card edge, match up the card edge con-
nector with the PCI host computer socket and insert the card into the
socket. Once the connector is in the PCI expansion slot socket tighten
the mounting bracket screw to secure the card in place.
