2.2. Installing the L-502 in your computer
The L-502 module can be installed in any PCI Express card slot of any size (x1, x2, x4, x8,
x12, x16 and x32) from 1.0 to 3.0.
Before installing the L-502 in the computer, set the configuration jumper to the desired
position,
i. 2.1.
To install, and also to remove L-502 is allowed only when the computer's system unit is de-
energized. "Hot connection" is not supported!
It is recommended to install L-502 in the system block with good air circulation in the
interior.
It is recommended to avoid electrostatic discharges during the installation of L-502 in the
computer. When handling the L-502, keep the module behind the metal panel.
It is not recommended to install the L-502 in an adjacent slot next to the heating radiator of an
adjacent module, for example, in the vicinity of a powerful graphics card.
The two 6-threaded screws on the L-502 bracket must be tightened securely, make sure of this
before installing the L-502.
The design of the L-502 is in strict accordance with the requirements of the PCI Express
specification. But in the real case, it is also important: the quality of the computer chassis, the errors
in installing the motherboard in the computer, the design features of the particular motherboard, the
design features of the card in the adjacent slot. Due to a combination of these factors when
installing L-502, you may encounter contacting the radiators of the motherboard (and other
structural elements) with the internal electrically conductive elements L-502. It should be specially
noted:
!
Do not touch the L-502 conductive elements with any other
electrically conductive elements of the motherboard or adjacent PCI/
PCI-E cards.
!
It is not allowed to operate the L-502 with an unsupported bracket.
The standard mounting screws for the card brackets (or plugs) are
usually included in the computer case kit.
