Before you Begin

The 400W AC power supply is auto-switching. This means that it will
automatically switch to match whatever source power you are using.
Since all products ship with a US/Canadian Standard 125V power cord,
you will need to use a locally available power cord for non-US Standard
power sources.

Install PCI Express Host Card

Begin the installation of your PCI Express (PCIe) host card by first
powering down your computer. Use the procedures for shutting down
your operating system and shutting off power to your system provided in
your owner’s manual or system documentation.

After the host computer is off and all power cords disconnected, remove
the cover and insert the PCI Express host card into a vacant x4+ PCIe
slot by gently pushing the card until it is firmly seated. Notice that the
PCI Express slots are located at a greater distance from the edge of the
computer’s mother-board than are the standard PCI slots. Then secure
the card to the slot with a mounting screw.
