2.5.2 Installing a full-length expansion card

The full-length expansion cards are inside the PCI cage. If you wish to install full-length expansion cards, you need to remove the PCI cage from the chassis.

To install a full-length expansion card:

1.Disengage the PCI cage from the chassis by lifting the cage handle to about 45o angle.

2.Firmly hold and lift the cage as shown to completely detach it from the chassis, then turn it over to access the power connector.

DO NOT lift the PCI cage too high to avoid pulling and breaking the power cable!

3.Disconnect the 4-pin power plug from the connector inside the cage.
