PCI Expansion
Like its predecessor Scala L2, the Scala L3 can provide the option for fitting a low power, short form factor PCI
card. The Expansion slot is a factory fitted option. Please check with Blue Chip Technology before fitting your

supply causing instability and/or overheating within the unit.
Attached to the internal cover plate, a PCI extender card is fitted as shown below

hole in the internal cover – this is only fitted AFTER the cover lid has been fitted
A PCI Adapter card is fitted by first removing the blank expansion bracket as follows
