Install PCIe Cards
Some card manufacturers recommend that you install their software driver prior to
installing the card. If this is the case, be sure to install the card driver before connecting
ExpressBox 3T to the computer.
• Slot 1 accepts x1 or x4 PCIe cards or the provided Fan Blower
• Slot 2 accepts x1, x4 or x8 PCIe cards
• Slot 3 accepts all types of PCIe cards x1, x4, x8 or x16 (next to Thunderbolt
interface card)
Make sure that all cards are fully seated in their connectors. When correctly seated,
there will be a firm resistance when you pull up gently on the card. To keep the cards in
place, secure them in the enclosure with their retaining screws.
After securing the cards verify that they do not touch each other.
NOTE
I
f at all possible, plug all power cords from the expansion chassis and your host computer
into a shared power strip, preferably one that has surge and noise suppression circuitry
built into it.
