.
Step 1. Locate the PCIe slot 4. If the slot is covered with a slot bracket, open the retention latch and
remove the slot bracket from the chassis. Store the bracket for future use.
Step 2. If the new PCIe adapter is installed with a full-height bracket, replace the full-height bracket with
the low-profile bracket by doing the following:
a. Carefully remove the screws that secure the PCIe adapter and then remove the full-height
bracket from the PCIe adapter.
b. Note the orientation and align the screw holes in the low-profile bracket with the
corresponding holes in the PCIe adapter. Then, install the screws to secure the bracket to the
PCIe adapter.
Step 3. Position the PCIe adapter near the PCIe slot. Then, carefully press the PCIe adapter straight into
the slot until it is securely seated and its bracket also is secured by the chassis.
