Important Safety Note: Due to safety reasons, please turn off your computer completely first and unplug it from the power supply.

Step 1: Chassis Cover Removal

Unscrew the two thumbscrews of the chassis cover, slide the cover backwards and upwards. Use a 6-mm screwdriver to puncture the perforated hole on the back panel from the outside in. Once the screwdriver passes through the perforation, carefully remove the metal tag.

Step 2: Riser Card Installation

As shown, take out the standard riser card from the system and unfasten the screws of the bracket. Then, switch the bracket to the riser card (PRC02) and fasten the screws.

Step 3: Connecting Power Cables

Connect the Molex power cable to the riser card (PRC02) with the 6-pin side. After finishing the graphics card installation, please connect the Molex power cable with the 6-pin or 6+2pin connector on the graphics card by the 6+2pin side. (Please refer to the XH610G2 Quick Guide when installing the graphics card).

Step 4: Replace Back Cover

Replace the back cover and refasten the screws.

Step 5: Connect Power Extender Cable

Plug the Power Extender Cable into the 4-pin "Ext. 19V" connector. On the other side of the cable is a 2.5/5.5 mm connector for a second power adapter, which must be purchased separately (e.g., Shuttle PE180).

Diagrammatic Representation of Connections:
