Disconnecting the Power Cord
Refer to your computer user’s manual and remove the computer cover. Make sure that you have an
available PCIe slot on your motherboard to install the MAYA44e.
Removing the computer cover
To avoid possible static shock damage to the computer parts, discharge it by touching the computer
case or something grounded. We recommend you use an anti-static device such as an anti-static
wristband.
When holding the MAYA44e card, touch only the guide or the edge of card. Do not grab the card
by the board or connector.

mainboard or computer to identify the PCIe slot, or consult a computer specialist. There are
different types of PCIe slot, MAYA44e will work both in a shorter PCIe 1x and in a longer PCIe
16x slot, however not in old standard PCI slots.
