Remove the blank panel on the back of the computer aligned
with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket screw.
Step 6.
Carefully insert the edge connector J1 (see

PCI host adapter face the opposite way from those on other
non-PCI adapter boards you have in your system. This is
correct, and the board is keyed to go in only one way.
