To install the PCIe-8382 in a host computer that requires a low-profile height card, the front bracket must be replaced with the low-profile bracket included with your kit.

  1. Remove the standard height front bracket already installed on the PCIe-8382 card by removing the two 4-40 × 3/16 in. Phillips head screws that attach the bracket to the card.
    The two mounting tabs for the standard height bracket rest against the back side of the card. Set the two screws aside to re-use when installing the low-profile bracket. When removing the bracket, be careful not to remove or lose the EMI gasket on the cable receptacle connector housing.
  2. Fit the low-profile bracket onto the PCIe-8382.
    The two mounting tabs that the screws thread into rest against the back side of the card for the low-profile bracket. Ensure that the front bracket LED bulbs are situated in the display hole correctly.
  3. Align the mounting holes on the card with the threaded holes on the mounting tabs of the bracket, and insert the screws from the front side.
  4. Tighten each screw to a maximum torque of 3.6 lb · in. (0.407 N · m).
