10. If you are adding a new board, remove the perforated rear panel cover in the slot you’re using
by pushing it out from inside the chassis.
11. Press the PCI board down firmly until it seats in its slot.
CAUTION Some accessory/option board outputs exceed Class 2 or limited power source
limits and must use appropriate interconnecting cabling in accordance with the
national electric code during installation.

chassis.

position both secures the end of the board and allows it to be activated with the operating
system or GUI application.
14. Close the rear part of the top cover and tighten the two thumbscrews.
15. Connect any required cabling to the add-in board.
16. If your server is operating, use the operating system or GUI application to power up the PCI
I/O slot into which you installed the PCI I/O board.
17. Push the system back into the equipment rack.
