7.

Remove the QLogic QHT7140 from the anti-static bag. 

8.

Locate the face plate on the connector edge of the card.

9.

Connect the QLogic adapter and HTX riser card together, forming the 
assembly that you will insert into your motherboard. First, visually line up the 
adapter slot connector edge with the edge connector of the HTX riser card 
(see 

).

10. Holding the QLogic adapter by its edges, carefully insert the card slot 

connector into the HTX riser card edge connector, as show in 

. 

The result is a combined L-shaped assembly of the HTX riser card and 
QLogic adapter. This assembly is what you will insert into the HTX slot on 
the motherboard in the next step. 

11.

Turn the assembly so that the riser card connector edge is facing the HTX 
slot on the motherboard, and the face plate is toward the front of the chassis.

12. Holding this assembly above the motherboard at about a 45 degree angle, 

slowly lower it so that the connector on the face plate clears the blanking 
panel opening of the chassis from the inside. Slowly align the connector 
edge of the HTX riser card with the motherboard’s HTX slot. The HTX riser 
and HTX slot must line up perfectly.

Be careful not to touch any of the components on the printed circuit 
board during these steps. You can hold the adapter by its face plate or 
edges.
