Installing a half-height PCI-Express 2.0 card

You may install an optional half-height PCI-Express (PCIe) card in the HP t620 PLUS Thin Client. A riser card is installed in this computer by default.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage from electric shock, hot surfaces, or fire, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before you touch them.

To install a PCIe card:

1.Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.

2.Remove all removable media, such as USB flash drives, from the computer.

3.Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, and then turn off any external devices.

4.Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet, and disconnect any external devices.

CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer.

5.Remove the computer from the stand and lay the computer down with the right side up.

6.Remove the computer access panel and back I/O panel. See Removing and replacing the access panel on page 10.

7.Push the fan assembly latch (1) toward the front of the computer and rotate the assembly (2) up and out of the way.
