Installing the Card

IMPORTANT

Install the card driver before you install the card into

your computer system. Refer to section 1.5 for driver support infor-
mation.

To install the card:

1. Turn off the system/chassis and disconnect the power

plug from the power source.

2. Remove the system/chassis cover.

3. Select the PCI Express slot that you intend to use, then

remove the bracket opposite the slot, if any.

4. Align the card connectors (golden fingers) with the slot,

then press the card firmly until the card is completely
seated on the slot.

5. Secure the card to the chassis with a screw.

6. Replace the system/chassis cover.

7. Connect the power plug to a power source, then turn on

the system.

Configuration

The card configuration is done on a card-by-card basis for all PCI/
PCI Express cards on your system. Because configuration is con-
trolled by the system and the software, there is no jumper setting
required for base address, DMA, and interrupt IRQ. The configura-
tion is subject to change with every boot of the system as new
PCI/PCI Express® cards are added or removed.

Troubleshooting

If your system fails to boot or if you experience erratic operation
with your PCI/PCI Express card in place, this is likely caused by
an interrupt conflict (such as when the BIOS Setup is incorrectly
configured). Refer to the BIOS documentation that came with the
system for details.
