Installing a PCI Express x16 Card
CAUTION
When installing a PCI Express x16 card on the desktop board, ensure that the card is
fully seated in the PCI Express x16 connector before you power on the system. If the
card is not fully seated in the PCI Express connector, an electrical short may result
across the PCI Express connector pins. Depending on the over-current protection of
the power supply, certain desktop board components and/or traces may be damaged.
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 27.
2. Place the card in the PCI E
xpress x16 connector (Figure 16, A) and press down on
t
he card until it is completely seated in the connector and the card retention notch
snaps into place around the retention mechanism pin.
3. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw
(Figure 16, B).
