these tasks on your particular system, refer to the manuals that were
supplied with your system.
Note
To perform this procedure, you need to supply a Phillips-head
screw.
Note
The AT-2973SX, AT-2973T, and AT-2973T/4 adapters require a
PCIe x4 PC.
To install an AT-2973SX, AT-2973T, or AT-2973T/4 adapter, do the
following:
1. Review the “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 31 and “Reviewing
Safety Precautions” on page 29.
Before installing the adapter, ensure the system power is OFF and
unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical grounding
procedures have been followed.
Warning
High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure
the power is off before removing the cover.
2. Remove the system cover and select any appropriate empty PCI slot.
See Figure 9 on page 35.
If you do not know how to identify an appropriate PCI slot, refer to the
system documentation that was included with your PC.
