3-2 Before Installation
To install the expansion card properly, follow the steps below.
Prior to Installation
1. Power down the system and unplug the power cord.
2. Use industry-standard anti-static equipment (such as gloves or a wrist strap)
and follow the precautions on page 3-1 to avoid damage caused by ESD.
3-3 Installing the Expansion Card
Depending upon which motherboard is used and which slot in the motherboard is
selected, a riser card may or may not be required to install the AOC-SLG3-2E4T.
1. Power down the system, remove the power cords from the rear or the power
supply, and remove the system cover.
2. Verify that the expansion card is equipped with the correct length of PCIe slot
bracket length for your system. AOC-SLG3-2E4T expansion cards include a
low-profile PCIe bracket. However, if your system features full-height PCIe
slots, replace the low-profile bracket with a full-length bracket.
3. Consult your motherboard manual for any special instructions regarding
expansion card installation.
