Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you are properly grounded prior to any hardware installation procedure using an ESD protection device such as a wrist strap.

If you are installing the DXH510 in a low-profile system and need to use the half-height bracket, please refer to the Section 2.2.1.

1.Locate the serial number on the back of your DXH510 and record it for future refer- ence.

2.Power off the server and disconnect the power cable.

3.Remove the server's access panel. Locate an available PCIe slot.

–Consult your server's documentation for details on removing the panel and identifying PCIe slots.

Note: Your DXH510 is designed for use in a x8 PCIe slot. It will work in a x16 slot, but this does not improve performance. Your DXH510 can also work in a x2 or x4 slot but performance may be diminished in a x2 slot, or in a x4 slot if a x8 connection is intended.

4.Follow server manufacturer’s instructions for installing PCIe add-in cards.

5.Replace the server’s access panel

6.Plug in the server’s power cable
