Installing the Replacement Card
1 Taking care not to touch the gold connector or any of the components on the card,
remove the replacement SCSI card from its static-proof bag and hold it by its corners.
2. Align the card’s connector with the expansion slot and press down until the connector
is inserted all the way into the slot.
• Install the card in the same slot used for the original card.
• Don’t rock the card; instead press it straight into the slot.
• Don’t force the card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the card out. Check for
damage or obstructions, and then reinsert the card.
• Pull the card gently to see if it is properly connected. If it stays in place, and if its
gold connectors are barely visible, it is connected.
3. Replace the card’s mounting screw and tighten it to secure the card.
4. Reconnect the SCSI ribbon cable to the card.
