program.

Card for Desktops/Servers only (leave the “ExpressCard” item un-checked). Proceed with

*NOTE: When performing this step, please ensure that the DVI port provided by the PCI Express
expansion card is not confused with a DVI port provided by the computer video card, as this
could damage the video card, as well as the PCI Express expansion card and PCI expansion
slot board.
