To determine which is the appropriate PCI slot, see the following subsection, “Supported Graphics Slot Configurations.” Ensure that you align the Bulkhead Pin, Board Connector, and Board Guide Extender when installing the graphics card in the PCI slot.

Note that you will need to have a PCI Extension Clip attached to the corresponding slot on the PCI Retainer for an HP VISUALIZE fxe graphics card. The location of the PCI Extension Clip is shown in Figure 1 on the next page. The PCI Extension Clip will bridge the gap between the graphics card and the PCI Retainer.
