Installing an expansion card

Step 1.

Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2.

Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws

for later use.

Step 3.

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

completely seated on the slot.

Step 4.

Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

Step 3.

Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage

to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at

incorrect orientation.
