Install Additional Cards#

Observe the following precautions:

  • Only connect or disconnect a PCIe card (e.g., miniSAS or dGPU) when the system is powered down.

  • Apply extra care when plugging and removing PCIe cards to avoid stress, such as wearing, bending, or breaking, on the PCIe connectors.

Follow these instructions to install additional PCIe cards:

  1. Remove the cover as shown in the following image. Remove the three screws on the right side when facing the back panel.

    Step 1 to remove the cover

  2. Remove the cover in the direction of A and B, as shown in the following image. The movement in the direction of A should be around 0.5 inch, or less than 1.5 cm.

    Step 2 to remove the cover

  3. After the cover is removed, remove the screws on top of slot 13 before installing the card in the PCIe slot-13. You can now access the IO of the PCIe card from the developer kit back panel.
