from the PCI Express expansion slot. If you
have questions about how to remove an
expansion card from your system, consult your
computer’s documentation.

electrostatic safe packaging.

5 Holding the RAID adapter firmly, plug the NV
Memory Card into the RAID Host Adapter with
ATTO logos in matching direction and the
standoff mounts closer to the adapter’s bracket.
