To install the PCIe host card:

2 Open the computer case. For additional details on installing a card in your computer, refer to its documen-
tation.
3 Install the PCIe host card in the lowest numbered available slot in your computer.
• In most Windows computers, this will be the slot farthest from the graphics card.
• In most Mac computers, this will be the slot closest to the graphics card.
Before removing cards from their antistatic bags or handling any card, discharge any static electricity
that may be on your clothes or body by touching a grounded metal surface (such as the power supply
case inside your computer).
Refer to your computer’s documentation to verify slot order.
