on your padded surface. Be careful to handle the card by its
edges only.

Optional: Disconnect the power cables connected to HDX
cards installed above the Option card slots and tuck them out
of the way. It is possible to install MADI-192 cards without

stretch the cables or damage their connectors while installing
the cards.

aside.

Align the MADI-192 card’s PCIe connectors with the corre-
sponding PCIe expansion slot, and firmly press the card into
the PCIe slot.

ment posts, align its card retaining slots with all Option
cards.

making sure all cards are correctly secured within the slots
on the guide bracket.

tion card is correctly aligned with the open slot and then secure
