Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Installing an expansion card

1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power sup-

ply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the docu-
mentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for
the card.

2. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws

for later use.

3. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

4. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
