Installing the PCIe-5785

Power off and unplug the computer.

Access the computer system expansion slots. This step might require you to remove one
or more access panels on the computer case.

Locate a compatible slot and remove the corresponding slot cover on the computer back
panel.

Touch any metal part of the computer to discharge any static electricity.

Insert the module into the slot you selected. Gently rock the module in to place without
forcing it.
