Step 4: Install the Card
Acqiris U5309A Startup Guide

The U5309A is optionally supplied with a card retainer (included if ordered as U5300A-001, or
available separately by ordering stand alone extender). The card retainer is able to pick up on
slots at the end the full-length PCIe slot and provide additional support for the card. Use of this
card retainer is highly recommended, in particular when the PC motherboard is oriented
vertically. However, if your PC hardware does not provide end slots, the card retainer may be
removed from the card.
Fitting the card with the optional card retainer into your PC
1. Loosen (but do not remove) the screw (A) holding the rear card retainer, and slide it
towards the fans. Note that there are screws only on one side: there is no screw on the
bottom side.
2. Insert the card into the PCIe slot of the PC, ensuring that it is fully seated into the PCIe
bus connector.
3. Fix the card to the PC either by fitting a screw, or by using a method compliant with your
PC model.
4. Fully extend the card retainer and ensure that it is inside the PC chassis support slot.
5. Tighten the screw (A) (0.5 Nm torque).
If the PC is a T5810, the PCIe-card retention (support slots) has to be removed and
adapted by removing two of the extension blocks before inserting the U5309A. For
details, please contact technical support
