Echo Express illustrations are used here; installation steps for both Echo
Express and Echo Express Pro are identical (except for installation of a
second PCIe card in the Echo Express Pro).
1. Remove the Echo Express chassis from its packaging, and then set it on
a flat, level surface.
2. Loosen the two captive thumbscrews securing the locking plate, and
then remove and set aside the locking plate
(Figure 1).
3. Slide the top cover back straight back to remove it
(Figure 1).
4. Remove and set aside the screw used to secure a PCIe card from the
Echo Express chassis’ frame
(Figure 2).
5. Optional: Remove and set aside the screw securing the port access
cover, and the port access cover when installing a second PCIe card
(Echo Express Pro only) or an I/O plate
(Figure 2).
Support Note:
To avoid damaging
components due to static electricity
discharge, wear an antistatic wrist strap
while working inside Echo Express.
