Installing Power Over Ethernet

Step 4 Install the three metal standoffs, provided in the accessory kit, into the three standoff holes, as shown in Figure 5. Use a 1/4-inch nut driver to tighten the standoffs.

Caution Make sure that the standoffs are straight when installed. Tighten them gently but firmly. The shoulder of each standoff must be seated tightly against the system board.

Caution When installing the PoE card, ensure that the card is installed in the proper direction. Improper installation will damage the PoE card. Installation of the PoE card requires the installation of three metal standoffs, to which the card is then secured by using three screws. Be sure to use all three screws to ensure that the card is installed properly.
