Install the cards following the card manufacturer’s recommendations. Some card manufacturers recommend that you install their software
driver(s) prior to installing the hardware. If this is the case, be sure to install the PCIe device driver before installation of the expansion chassis.
Make sure that all cards are fully seated in their connectors. When correctly seated in its connector, you will notice a firm resistance when you
pull up gently on the card. To keep the cards in place, secure them in the enclosure with their retaining screws (supplied with the OSS
Expansion chassis.
After securing the cards verify that they do not touch each other. Depending on card size and thickness, you may require mechanical card
guides to ensure isolation, such as the case with 2 single full-length PCIe cards. Card guides for this system can be purchased separately from
OSS.
Re-install cardholder assembly and position guides. The plastic guides can be removed and reversed for short cards. Tighten plastic guides with
a screwdriver. Rotate the plastic pieces until their grooves are aligned with the cards. Reinsert the cardholder into the chassis and tighten the
screw.
2.5 Install Host Card
Begin installation by powering down your host computer. Use the procedures for shutting down your operating system and shutting off power
to your system provided in your owner’s manual or system documentation. The host interface card is mounted to a “full-height” bracket as
shown below. For low profile case applications, you may need to change the mounting bracket to the low profile bracket that shipped with your
system. Remove the screws that hold the card to the bracket. Be sure you are using proper ESD procedures when completing this action.
