Security Gateway Manual Netgate-8300
Install the Add-on Expansion Card
With the riser assembly removed, it is time to install the add-on expansion card.
Danger: Reminder:
• Anti-static protection must be used throughout this procedure.
• Any hardware damage incurred during this procedure is not covered by the hardware warranty.
1. Locate the appropriate slot for the expansion card
The expansion slot will vary depending on the card. For example, a card with a low profile bracket would most
likely go in the smaller slot on the left, assuming its specifications match the slot capabilities. Some cards have
alternate brackets so in those cases it is best to match the card based on its bus requirements, speed, and so on.
See Input and Output Ports for the expansion slot specifications.
2. Loosen or remove the retaining screw from the expansion slot
Tip: It is not typically necessary to fully remove the screw as the card can be moved around it when it is
loosened, but removing the screw can make installing or removing the cards easier.

3. Remove the expansion slot cover by sliding it away from the center of the riser assembly and lifting it out, then
set it aside.
Note: The cover will not be necessary so long as there is a card in the expansion slot. Store the cover in a safe
place in case it is needed in the future.
4. Install the add-on card into the expansion card slot by sliding it toward the center of the riser assembly until it is
fully seated in its socket.
5. Ensure the card is properly aligned and fully inserted into the expansion card slot.
