Chapter 3 – PCIe Card Installation Steps
6. Remove the PCIe card from its packaging, handling
the card by its edges and without touching any
components or gold connector pins.
7. If necessary, swap the card’s standard PCIe bracket with its included
low-profile bracket.
8. Holding the card with its bracket on the left
and the connector pins facing away
from you, line up its connector
with the slot, and then gently
but firmly insert the card
straight into the slot; do not
rock the card or force the
card into the slot. If you
encounter excessive resistance,
check the card’s connector and the
slot for damage, and then try inserting
the card again (Figure 4).
9. Secure the card using the screw you removed previously;
do not overtighten the screw (Figure 4).
10. Place one hand on top of the outer case, and then gently push the inner
assembly back into the outer case (Figure 5).
11. Turn the Echo Express SEL T3E chassis upside-down, and then secure
the outer case to the inner assembly by reattaching the four feet; do not
overtighten the screws (Figure 6).
WARNING: When handling computer products,
take care to prevent components from being
damaged by static electricity; avoid working in carpeted
areas. Handle expansion cards only by their edges and
avoid touching connector traces and component pins. Also,
avoid touching the Echo Express SEL T3E chassis’ circuit
boards and any of its components.
