Install the low-prole bracket
The PEX4SFF8643 can be mounted in both low-prole and
full-prole computer systems. The full-prole bracket comes
preinstalled in the adapter but you can install the low-prole bracket
instead.
1. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two bracket screws
from the PEX4SFF8643.
2. Remove the full-prole bracket from the adapter.
3. Line up the low-prole bracket with the bracket holes on the back
of the adapter.
4. Insert the two bracket screws that you removed in step 1 and
tighten them in place.
Install the adapter in a computer
Warning! PC components can be severely damaged by static
electricity. If an anti-static strap isn’t available, discharge any built-
up static electricity by touching a large, grounded metal surface for
several seconds.

3. Disconnect any peripheral devices that are connected to your
computer.
4. Open your computer case. For more information about how to

5. Locate an open PCIe slot and remove the corresponding metal
cover plate from the back of your computer case. Consult the
documentation that came with your computer for details about
how to do this safely. This card works in PCIe slots of x4, x8, or
x16 lanes.
6. Gently insert the card into the open PCIe slot and use a
computer case screw (not included) to fasten the bracket to the
back of the case.
7. Connect the card to the drive.
