2.2 Installing the Card

Install the card driver before you install the card into your com-
puter system. See “Software Support” on page 11. for driver sup-
port information.

To install the card:

1. Turn off the system/chassis and disconnect the power

plug from the power source.

2. Remove the system/chassis cover.

3. Select the PCI Express slot that you intend to use, then

remove the bracket opposite the slot, if any.

4. Align the card connectors (golden fingers) with the slot,

then press the card firmly until the card is completely
seated on the slot.

CAUTION:

The card must be protected from static discharge and physical
shock. Never remove any of the socketed parts except at a
static-free workstation. Use the anti-static bag shipped with the
product to handle the card. Wear a grounded wrist strap when
servicing.
