Do not press in on the board yet! Ease board into the
slot guides until it is just touching the connector on
the system board.
Caution: Before pressing the board firmly into the
system board connector, confirm visually that the board
edge connectors are correctly oriented—not too low or
high—at the system board connector.
5.
Press the board carefully but firmly into the system
board connector to seat the board.

to the board you have installed.
