8. If desired, you may change the main fan speed switch setting
(Figure 5). Refer to appendix section C at the end of this manual for
more information on when the low speed setting may be used.
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 13.
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 5).
11. Using the supplied offset screwdriver, secure the card using the screw
you removed previously (Figure 5).
12. If you installed a card that includes a daughter card, skip to the
appendix, page A, at the end of this document for instructions on
installing the included daughter card mounting bracket and the
daughter card. Otherwise, go to the next step.
13. If you are installing a card into PCIe Slot 2 that includes BNC
connectors, skip to the appendix, page B, at the end of this document
for instructions on installing the connectors. Otherwise, go to the
next step.
14. 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.
15. Turn the card components side down, 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 6).
16. Secure the card using the screw you removed previously (Figure 6).
17. If you installed a full-length card, slide the PCIe card guide onto the
card, and then tighten the guide’s thumbscrews (Figure 6).
