HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS bus connector and the resulting
lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise against transporting the card(s)
installed in a computer, unless its chassis or case provides a dedicated support to
keep the card securely in place in order to avoid physical damage.
The card has to be installed in the computer prior to installing its driver.
Installing the card
Gently plug the card in a free PCIe
®
slot and press it down to position it
firmly. Tighten the screw.
