Installing a PCI expansion card 
The PCI slot provides the following voltages:
• +5V @ 1A
• +12V @ 0.5A
• -12V @ 0.1A
Ensure that the card that you are installing is compatible with the power budget 
of the PCI slot. 
1. Power down and remove the RaQ XTR from the equipment rack by 
reversing the installation procedure in Chapter 2.
2. Place the RaQ XTR on a stable, flat surface.
3. Remove the mounting brackets from each side of the chassis. Each bracket is 
attached to the chassis with four screws (see Figure 108).
