bracket screw.
NOTE This controller is a PCI Express x8 card, and it can operate in x8 or x16
slots. However, some PCI Express slots support only PCI Express
graphics cards; a RAID controller installed in one of these slots will
not function.
NOTE Refer to the guide for your motherboard for information about the PCI
Express slot.
