6. Remove a PCIe card from its packaging, handling the card by its edges
and without touching any components or gold connector pins.
7. Line up the card’s connector with the slot, and then gently but firmly
press the card straight 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 7).
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 as necessary with any remaining cards.
9. If you installed a card which requires auxiliary power, connect the
auxiliary power connector to it now.
10. If there are any unoccupied slots, install the PCIe slot access covers you
removed previously, and then secure the cards and slot covers using
the previously-removed screws (Figure 7).
