Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the
card, avoid touching its electrical components and always touch
the metal chassis of your computer before handling the card.
1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove
the computer’s cover.
2. Select an unused PCI bus master slot and remove its
protective bracket.
3. Carefully insert the card and press until all the edge
connectors are firmly seated inside the slot. Then screw the
card’s bracket securely into the PC’s chassis.
