Installing a half-height bracket
NOTE:
The PCIe IO Accelerator Duo is not compatible with the half-height bracket.
For half-height installation (such as in low-profile systems), replace the full-height retaining bracket with the

Electrostatic discharge might damage electronic components. Be sure that you are
properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure.
