Be careful not to touch any of the components on the printed circuit board during these steps. You can hold the adapter by its face plate or edges.

8.Locate the face plate on the connector edge of the card.

9.Connect the QLogic adapter and HTX riser card together, forming the assembly that you will insert into your motherboard. First, visually line up the adapter slot connector edge with the edge connector of the HTX riser card (see Figure 4-8).

10.Holding the QLogic adapter by its edges, carefully insert the card slot connector into the HTX riser card edge connector, as show in Figure 4-8. The result is a combined L-shaped assembly of the HTX riser card and QLogic adapter. This assembly is what you will insert into the HTX slot on the motherboard in the next step.

11.Turn the assembly so that the riser card connector edge is facing the HTX slot on the motherboard, and the face plate is toward the front of the chassis.

12.Holding this assembly above the motherboard at about a 45 degree angle, slowly lower it so that the connector on the face plate clears the blanking panel opening of the chassis from the inside. Slowly align the connector edge of the HTX riser card with the motherboard’s HTX slot. The HTX riser and HTX slot must line up perfectly.
