Pre-Installation

  1. Disconnect power to the host computer prior to installation.

  2. Verify that the system provides the following:

    1. PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot (For optimal performance, the card requires a x16 configuration without bifurcation. The n150 and n300 are dual-width cards and require the adjacent expansion slot to be vacant.)

    2. One (1) EPS12V 4+4-pin power connector

  3. Discharge your body’s static electricity by wearing an ESD wrist strap (recommended) or touching a grounded surface before touching system components or the add-in card.
