mends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any

computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable,

discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touch-

ing a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer

case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the PCI

Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

the computer (i.e. Printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug

the power cable from the rear of the power supply on the

4. Gently insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and

fasten the bracket to the rear of the case.

Note: If installing the card into a small form factor/low

prole system, replacing the pre-installed full prole bracket

with the included low prole installation bracket may be

necessary.

5. Connect SATA cables from the ports on the card to the SATA

devices inside the computer.

6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

and reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 1.
