Attach any necessary cables to the card (see the instructions that came
with the add-in card).

Replace the bottom panel (see

!

Before opening the system unit, save any open files, exit Windows, turn off

the power of the computer and all attached peripherals, and then unplug the
power cord.

Align the card's bracket so that the bottom of the bracket fits into the slot at the
bottom of the chassis. Assure that the top of the bracket fits snugly against the
chassis lip after the card is fully inserted.
