Accessories Installation
Install an Add-in Card
Display and non-display computers support half-length, full-height add-in cards.
Half-length PCI/PCIe cards are 106.68 mm (4.2 in.) high by 175.26 mm
(7.0 in.) long.
The following table lists PCI/PCIe slots and configurations supported by the
display and non-display computers.
Any PCI/PCIe configuration supports 12 W (maximum) internal to the PCI/
PCIe slot and 28 W (maximum) external to the computer, for a maximum load of
40 W. Verify that your card does not exceed its thermal ratings.
When the computer is running at its maximum rated temperature, the ambient
temperature in the PCI/PCIe slot operating with a 4 W fanless card can reach
70 °C (158 °F). With a 12 W load, the ambient temperature can reach 90 °C
(194 °F). Your PCI/PCIe slot temperatures can be lower based on the power
usage of your specific application.
Follows these steps to install an add-in card (the performance computer is shown).

ATTENTION:
Add-in cards are sensitive to ESD and require careful handling:
•
Hold cards only by the edges.
•
Do not touch the card connectors, components, or circuits.
•
After removing an add-in card, place it on a flat, static-free surface, component
side up.
•
Do not slide the card over any surface.
IMPORTANT
Use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the work surface, and properly
grounded tools and equipment.
