Check the Mounting Bracket

CAUTION: Damaging the screw can void the warranty. To 

prevent damage to the screw, center the screwdriver in 

the top of the screw.

Use a #1 Phillips* screwdriver that is ESD safe to remove the two 

Phillips screws that connect the full-profile bracket to the board. 

Unscrew the two screws located at the top and bottom edges of the 

board. Avoid touching any other board components with the 

screwdriver or the bracket.

Remove the full-profile bracket from the controller. Do not damage 

the board.

Check the mounting bracket on the controller (system-dependent). If 

required for your system, replace the full-height mounting bracket that 

ships on the controller with the low-profile bracket supplied. Complete 

step A through step D to attach the short bracket.

Place the controller on top of the low-profile bracket. Position the 

bracket so that the screw holes in the tabs align with the openings 

in the board.

D

Use a #1 Phillips torque screwdriver, that is ESD safe, set to a 

maximum torque of 4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds. Replace the two 

Phillips head screws removed in step A.

CAUTION: Exceeding these torque specifications can 

damage the board, connectors, or screws, and can void 

the warranty on the controller.

Unpack the Controller

Unpack the controller in a static-free environment. 

Remove the controller from the antistatic bag, and 

carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice 

any damage, contact Intel or your reseller support 

representative.

CAUTION: To avoid the risk of data loss, make a 

backup of your data before changing your system 

configuration.

2

Prepare the Computer

CAUTION: Disconnect the computer from the 

power supply and from any networks to which 

you will install the controller, or you risk 

damaging the system or experiencing electrical 

shock.

Turn off the computer, and disconnect the power cord 

from the rear of the power supply.

3

Remove the Cover

Remove the cover from the chassis.

Install the Controller

Insert the controller into an available PCIe slot. Locate an empty x8 

PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the rear of the computer 

that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save this bracket screw, if 

applicable. Align the controller to a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but 

firmly, to seat the controller correctly in the slot. The following figure 

shows how to insert the controller into a PCIe slot.

NOTE: The shape, size, and locations of the components 

on your controller and its bracket might vary from this 

illustration. The controller requires a x8 PCIe slot.
