Installing an expansion card

IMPORTANT: Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or

removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury

and damage motherboard components.

To install an expansion card:
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it

and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is installed in a chassis).

3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.

4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6. Replace the system cover.
