Instruction Manual 3
Hardware Installation
1. Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers,
external hard drives, etc). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power supply
on the back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
2. Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation for your computer
system for details.
3. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the
computer case (refer to documentation for your computer system for details).
NOTE: This card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).
4. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of
the case.
NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low profile system, replacing the
pre-installed full profile bracket with the included low profile installation bracket may
be necessary. The serial port will be relocated to a second bracket, so the card will take
up two expansion card slots.
5. OPTIONAL: If supplying power from the computer system power supply, (see
“Setting Power Mode”) connect the LP4 molex plug into the card.
6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.
7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other
connectors removed in Step 1.
