Cards

1. PCI slots

The H8SMi-2 has several PCI expansion slots. The PCI-Express x16 slot may be

populated with the use of the CSE-RR1U-E16 riser card, which is included with the

system.

2. PCI card installation

Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure it is supported by the riser card (see

step 1, above). Begin by pulling the locking tab downward to unlock the bracket

that covers the slot, then remove the bracket. Insert the add-on card into the riser

card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. When the

card is correctly installed, fi nish by pushing the locking tab upward to secure the

card in the system.

Note: the PCI slot shield helps promote proper airlow in the chassis and shield the

inside of the system from EMI (electromagnetic interference). For these reasons,

make sure there is a shield covering the slot if unused.
