Follow these precise steps to install the p1705 efficiently. This guide assumes a physical hardware component installation.
Materials & Preparation
- Anti-static wrist strap
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- Compatible motherboard (verify PCIe slot availability)
- System manual (motherboard/device)
Installation Procedure
Step 1: Power Down System
Shut down the computer and disconnect all power cables. Press the power button for 10 seconds to discharge residual electricity.
Step 2: Ground Yourself
Attach the anti-static wrist strap to a grounded metal surface before handling components.
Step 3: Access PCIe Slot
Remove the computer case side panel. Locate an available PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard (typically longest slot).
Step 4: Prepare Expansion Area
Remove the corresponding metal bracket on the rear chassis. Save the screw for reassembly.
Step 5: Insert p1705 Card
Align p1705 connectors with PCIe slot. Apply firm, even pressure until the card seats completely. Gold contacts should be fully inserted.
Step 6: Secure Mounting Bracket
Fasten the card's mounting bracket to the chassis using the screw from Step 4.
Step 7: Reassemble System
Replace the case side panel. Reconnect all power and peripheral cables.
Driver Installation
- Power on the system and boot into the operating system
- Install latest manufacturer-provided drivers (automatically via system update or manually from included media)
- Reboot when prompted
Verification
- Check Device Manager (Windows) or
lspci(Linux) for proper hardware recognition - Run manufacturer diagnostic tools if provided
Note: Always reference specific product documentation for slot compatibility, power requirements, and additional configuration steps.
