Product Usage Instructions

1. Expansion Modules:
   • To install a memory module, refer to the user guide for
     detailed instructions specific to your model.
   • To install a PCIe card, open the tower’s case, locate an
     available PCIe slot, align the card with the slot, and firmly press
     it down until it is securely seated.
   • To install an M.2 solid-state drive, locate the M.2 slot on the
     motherboard, align the drive with the slot, and gently insert it at
     a slight angle. Secure the drive using the provided screws.
   • To use an SD card, simply insert it into the SD card slot on
     the tower.
2. Storage Options:
   • To install a 3.5-inch storage drive in the front-access storage
     enclosure or drive cages, open the enclosure or cage, connect the
     drive to the appropriate cables, and secure it in place using
     screws.
   • If you want to install a 2.5-inch storage drive in the
     front-access storage enclosure or drive cages, you will need a
     storage drive converter. Follow the same steps as for a 3.5-inch
