5 If you are installing a new card, remove the filler bracket to create a card-slot opening.
Then continue with step 7.
6 If you are replacing a card that is already installed in the computer, remove the card
(see page 92).
If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card. Grasp the card by its top
corners, and ease it out of its connector.
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, be sure to unplug
your computer from its 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.
If the card is full-length, insert the end of the card into the card guide bracket as you
lower the card toward its connector on the system board. Insert the card firmly into the
card connector on the system board.
