Fit the Correct Bracket

AMD adapters are supplied with a full height bracket fitted to the adapter. A low-profile bracket has also been supplied for PCIe slots that require this type of bracket.

To change the bracket that is fitted to the adapter:

1. Detach the fitted bracket from the adapter. Refer to the following figure:
   1. Remove and retain the gold hex nuts from the two PPS connectors labeled IN and OUT.
   2. Remove the four screws securing the fitted bracket.
2. Slide out the bracket from underneath the metal backplate and away from the adapter.
3. Slide in the replacement bracket between the PCB and the metal backplate, locating it in position.
4. Attach the replacement bracket to the adapter using the new screws supplied:
   1. Loosely fit the two longer screws through the metal backplate underneath the adapter.
   2. Fit and tighten the two shorter screws through the front face of the bracket. Torque to 1.5 in‑lbf ±0.5 in‑lbf (0.17 Nm ±0.05 Nm).
   3. Tighten the two longer screws. Torque to 1.5 in‑lbf ±0.5 in‑lbf (0.17 Nm ±0.05 Nm).
   4. Re-fit and tighten the two gold hex nuts onto the PPS connectors. Torque to 1.5 in‑lbf ±0.5 in‑lbf (0.17 Nm ±0.05 Nm).

   Take care not to over-tighten the screws or the hex nuts.
