7 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, laceration by
moving fan blades, or other unexpected injuries, always unplug your computer
from the electrical outlet before installing any cards.
8 Place the card in the connector and press down firmly. Ensure that the card
is fully seated in the slot.

position the card so the securing slot is aligned with the securing tab.
