To Install a PCI Add-on Card
Your computer may have one or more open PCI expansion slots, depending on the model configuration. A PCI slot enables
you to install add-on cards to expand the functionality of your system. The length of the add-on card should not exceed
9.05 inches.
Add-on card configuration varies by model. Some models, such as Configure-to-Order (CTO) systems, may contain
preinstalled add-on cards.
Observe the proper safety precautions when you add cards to your Sony computer. See Before you upgrade
your computer .
Inserting an add-on card
