Installing a processor-direct slot (PDS) card

1

Remove the plastic access cover from the vertical plate.

2

Remove the processor-direct slot (PDS) expansion card from its static-proof bag.

Hold the card by its edges to avoid touching the connectors on the card.

3

Align the card over the processor-direct slot.

4

Press down on the card until the connector is solidly in place.

Don’t force the card. If you meet resistance, pull the card out and try again.

To see if the card is properly connected, lift it gently. If it resists and stays in
place, it’s connected.
