 Remove a PCIe card from its packaging, handling the card by its edges 

and without touching any components or gold connector pins.

 

7. 

Line up the card’s connector with the slot, and then gently but firmly 
press the card straight into the slot; 

do not rock the card or force the 

card into the slot

. If you encounter excessive resistance, check the 

card’s connector and the slot for damage, and then try inserting the 
card again

 Optional: Install the second PCIe card into slot 2 following the 

instructions in step 7 (Echo Express Pro only), or I/0 plate in the 
second opening.

 WARNING:

 When handling computer products, take care to prevent 

components from being damaged by static electricity; avoid working 

in carpeted areas. Handle expansion cards only by their edges and avoid 
touching connector traces and component pins. Also, avoid touching the 
Echo Express chassis’ circuit boards and any of its components.
