2.7 PCIe Card Installation
If you are installing a PCIe card or host adapter card, please follow the steps below.
CAUTION
Power down the system first before installing a PCIe card
Begin the installation by first powering down your computer. Remove the power cord. 5VSB (5V Standby) is still available, if the power cord is
still installed . Use the procedures for shutting down your operating system and shutting off power to your computer provided in your owner’s
manual or system documentation.
Remove the top cover of unit, see “How to Remove Top Cover” section.
The PCIe host card is a “half-height,” x16-capable PCIe card mounted to a “full-height” bracket as shown below.
For low profile case applications, change the mounting bracket to the low profile bracket. You can order a low profile bracket by contacting our
Sales Support. Replacing the “High Profile Bracket” with “Low Profile Bracket” is done by removing the screws that hold the card to the
bracket. Detach the standard bracket from the card, and place the low profile bracket and secure it. Use proper ESD procedures when
completing this action.
Insert the PCIe card into a vacant x16 PCIe slot by gently pushing the card until it is firmly seated.
