Installing the Host Cable Adapter

Insert the Host Cable Adapter into a PCIe x8 or x16 add-in card slot. Make sure that the card is well seated and
tighten the screw on the front backet.

the slot cover, insert the cable connector into the cable port connector on the board until the cable locks in place.

The connectors on either end of the PCIe x8 cable are identical. Each connector is equipped with a
retractor to allow
the connector to be locked into place.
