follows:
•Power off Sequence: Power off your PC system then the Expansion Box
•Power on Sequence: Power on the Expansion Box first, then power on your PC system.
2. Then we are installing the PCI add-in cards in the Expansion Box:

in the Expansion Box.

the factory.
3. Plug in your PCI add-in card (s).
4. Put the top cover back on your Expansion Box.
