  6. Secure the PCI Express mounting bracket of the module to the computer chassis with two bracket screws.
    Note Because of the high mass of the PCI Express FlexRIO devices, installing the bracket screws is recommended. Installing the bracket screws increases mechanical stability and electrically connects the front panel to the chassis, which can improve signal quality and electromagnetic performance.
  7. Connect the 6-pin PCI Express power connector from the power supply to the PCI Express FlexRIO device.
  8. Reinstall any access panels on the computer case.
