Attention: "Electro Static Discharge (ESD)"

Please take all proper Electro Static Discharge (ESD) precautions during the installation of your new hardware!

Before starting the installation, turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and all necessary components.

Note: To avoid doing damage to the hardware, discharge yourself of static charge by touching e.g. the casing. Beware of touching contacts of the PCIe adapter card, the BVS CA-BN or of the computer.

Attention: "Short circuit"

Since the connector of the rigid-flex extension cable can be connected in both ways you have to check if it is connected the right way and that is:

Connecting the rigid-flex extension cable

Select a free PCIe slot (preferably the x16 graphic card slot)(alternatively a M.2 Key M adapter or OCuLink may be used). Remove the slot's cover at the back of the computer and keep the screw.
Carefully insert the PCIe adapter card into the slot by holding the board at the top and gently pushing both ends into the slot at the same time. Press onto the upper edge of the board to make sure it is seated in the slot firmly.
Do not force the PCIe adapter card into the slot! You run the risk of bending the contacts. If the board does not fit easily, pull it back out, and try again.
Connect the flex cable extension to the PCIe adapter card.
Lead out the flex cable extension from the case.
Put the cover back on the computer and reconnect the peripheral devices.
Connect the flex cable extension to the BVS CA-BN.
Note
Please note pin 1 of the PCIe-Embedded interface.
Start the computer (the BVS CA-BN will boot immediately).

Attention: "Short-circuit"

If you want to connect or disconnect the device, please be sure that the PC is switched off! Otherwise, during the connection, the device could be short-circuited and possibly destroyed!

→ Switch off the PC if you want to connect or disconnect the device.
