A – PCIe Cards Installation Steps (continued)
9. If you are installing a card into PCIe Slot 1, remove the card from its
packaging, handling the card by its edges and without touching any
components or gold connector pins. Otherwise skip to step 12.
10. Line up the card’s connector with the slot, and then gently but firmly
press the card into the slot; do not rock the card or force the card
into the slot. If you encounter excessive resistance, check the card’s
connector and the slot for damage, and then try inserting the card
again
(Figure 7).
11. Secure the card using the screw you removed previously (Figure 7).
12. If you are installing a card into PCIe Slot 2, remove the card from
its packaging, handling the card by its edges and without touching
any components or gold connector pins. If necessary, swap the card’s
standard PCIe bracket with the card’s included low-profile bracket.
13. Turn the card components side down, and then lower it into the
cavity where the slot is, aligning the notch in the card bracket with
the stud bolt used to secure the card
(Figure 8).
14. Line up the card’s connector with the slot, and then gently but firmly
press the card into the slot; do not rock the card or force the card
into the slot. If you encounter excessive resistance, check the card’s
connector and the slot for damage, and then try inserting the card
again
(Figure 8).
15. Secure the card using the nut you removed previously (Figure 8).
