nected to the server. Please follow proper electrical grounding procedures.

2. Open the system case.
3. Locate  an  available  PCI  Express  slot  for  the  adapter  card.Make  sure  the  adapter  clips  or 

screws are open. 

4. Place the adapter card on the clips without applying any pressure.

Please note that the following images are for illustration purposes only. 

A lesser width adapter can be seated into a greater width slot (x8 in a x16), but a 
greater width adapter cannot be seated into a lesser width slot (x16 in a x8). Align the 
adapter connector edge with the PCI Express connector slot.
