5 Prepare the card for installation.

See the documentation that came with the card for information on configuring the card,
making internal connections, or otherwise customizing it for your computer.

CAUTION:

Some network adapters automatically start the computer when they are connected to a

network. To guard against electrical shock, be sure to unplug your computer from its electrical outlet
before installing any cards.

6 If you are installing the card into the x16 card connector, position the card so the securing slot

is aligned with the securing tab, and gently pull the securing tab.

7 Place the card in the connector and press down firmly. Ensure that the card is fully seated in

the slot.

8 Ensure that:

The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.

The notch in the top of the card or filler bracket fits around the alignment guide.
