3 If you are installing a new card, remove the filler bracket to create a card-slot opening.
4 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.

5 Position the card so that it is aligned with the slot and (if present) the securing tab is aligned

with the securing slot.

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.
