2. Remove the system/chassis cover.
3. Select the PCIE Express slot that you intend to use, then
remove the bracket opposite the slot, if any.

then press the card firmly until the card is completely
seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with a screw.

static-free workstation. Use the anti-static bag shipped with the
product to handle the card. Wear a grounded wrist strap when
