To Install:
Insert module vertically
and press down until it
snaps into place. The
release tabs should
close - if they do not
you should close them
yourself.
To Remove:
Use your thumbs to
gently push each re-
lease tab outward to
release the DIMM from
the slot.
Note the notch in the slot and on the bottom of the DIMM.
These prevent the DIMM from being installed incorrectly.
5-7 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI slots:
The H8QCE+/H8QC8+ has six PCI expansion slots, one of which (a full height,
full-length PCI-E x8 card) may be used into the pre-installed riser card.
2. PCI card installation:
To install a PCI add-on card, begin by removing the screw from the backpanel PCI
slot shield that covers the PCI expansion slot. Insert the PCI card into the riser
card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by
securing the card to the chassis with the same screw you removed from the PCI
shield.
Note: the PCI slot shields help promote proper airlow in the chassis and shield the
inside of the system from EMI (electromagnetic interference). For these reasons,
make sure there is always a shield covering each unused slot.
