Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-7 Adding PCI Add-On Cards

The 2042G-TRF/6RF can accommodate low-profile (only) add-on cards installed into all the PCI slots included on the H8QG6/i-F.

Installing an Add-on Card

1.Begin by removing the PCI slot shield for the slot you wish to populate.

2.Fully seat the card into the riser card slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.

3.Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis. The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering each unused slot.
