Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components Installing and Removing a PCI Express x16 Card CAUTION When installing any PCI Express x16 card on the desktop board, ensure that it is fully seated in the PCI Express x16 connector before you power on the system. If the card is not fully seated in the PCI Express x16 connector, an electrical short may result across the PCI Express x16 connector pins. Depending on the over-current protection of the power supply, certain board components and/or traces may be damaged. The desktop board has an integrated PCI Express x16 card retention mechanism (RM). Installing a PCI Express x16 Card Use the PCI Express x16 slot indicated in Figure 18 if you are using only one video card. Follow these instructions to install a PCI Express x16 card: 1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 23. 2. Place the card in the PCI Express x16 connector. 3. Press down on the card until it is completely seated in the PCI Express x16 connector and the card retention notch snaps into place around the RM pin. 4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw. G H I J Figure 18. Slot to Use for One Video Card OM17783 37
