4. Remove the expansion board from its protective packaging, handling it by the edges.
Some expansion boards can only be installed in one slot but other boards can be configured to
fit in either slot by replacing the default bracket (attached to the board) with a different sized
one. The different sized bracket and instructions on how to attach it to the board is included in
the option kit.
5. Verify that the board’s default bracket is compatible with the configuration of the selected slot.
If it is not compatible, replace the bracket with one that is compatible.
6. Slide the expansion board into the slot, and then firmly press on it to seat it properly.

board (BT1).
