Hardware Installation Procedure
4
Secure the option card into place
a) Secure the card into the expansion bay with the two screws
saved from step 2b.* Turn the screws clockwise with the hex
wrench until they are snug, but do not over-tighten.
b) Hardware installation is complete. See instructions on reverse
side before making Thunderbolt connections.
1 Prepare for installation
a) Power off Apollo and disconnect all cables from the unit.
b) Place Apollo on a stable, flat, static-free surface with the rear
panel facing you.
c) Gather the option card, supplied hex key wrench, and these
instructions so they are within easy reach.
2
Remove Apollo’s expansion bay cover plate
a) Locate the rectangular metal plate that covers Apollo’s
expansion bay. It’s on the left side of the rear panel, next to the
Power In connector.
b) Using the supplied hex key wrench, remove the two hex screws
from the cover plate by turning them counter-clockwise.
Save these screws! They are used to secure the card into place.
3
Slide the option card into Apollo via the guide rails
a) After discharging static electricity by touching unpainted metal
on Apollo’s rear panel, remove the card from its anti-static
bag. Handle the card by its edges and avoid touching the gold
connector contacts.
b) Carefully align both edges of the card within the two plastic
guide rail slots located inside both sides of the expansion bay.
c) Slide the card all the way into Apollo. There will be a slight
“snap” as the card is completely inserted. The card’s faceplate
should align perfectly with Apollo’s rear panel.
