If original Blank Panel is installed, insert a screwdriver into the slot at the center (as shown in inset) of the filler panel and work the screwdriver up and down to loosen the panel. Detach the filler panel from the tabs at each end and remove.

2Carefully position the Daughtercard over the connector. Press down firmly so the daughtercard connector seats properly with the motherboard connector.

3Secure the Daughtercard with the mounting screws on the back panel as well as either 1 on 2 screws to the internal card stand-offs.

CAUTION: Ensure that daughtercard connector pins are properly aligned with the corresponding motherboard connector to prevent damage to the card when power is applied.
