Installation
Install the PCI Express card
Warning! PCI Express cards can be severely damaged by static
electricity. Make sure that you are properly grounded before you
open your computer case or touch the PCI Express card. You should
wear an anti-static strap when you install any computer component.
If an anti-static strap isn’t available, discharge any built-up static
electricity by touching a large grounded metal surface for several
seconds. Only handle the PCI Express card by its edges and don’t
touch the gold connectors.

to it (for example, printers, external hard drives, etc.).
2. Unplug the power cable from the back of your computer.
3. Disconnect any peripheral devices that are connected to your
computer.
4. Remove the cover from your computer case. Consult the

Express slot and fasten the bracket to the back of the case.
