6 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.

Some network adapters automatically start the computer when they are connected to a
network. To guard against electrical shock, be sure to unplug your computer from its electrical outlet
before installing any cards.

is aligned with the securing tab, and gently pull the securing tab.
NOTICE:
Ensure that you release the securing tab to unseat the card. If the card is not removed
correctly, the system board may be damaged.
