Removing and Installing Parts

7 Pull the securing tab, grasp the card by its top corners, and then ease it out of its connector.

8 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, be sure to unplug your computer from its electrical outlet before installing any
cards.

aligned with the securing tab.

NOTICE:

Ensure that you release the securing tab to seat the card. If the card is not installed correctly, you may

damage the system board.

10 Place the card in the connector and press down firmly. Ensure that the card is fully seated in the slot.
