5 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.

6 Place the card in the connector and press down firmly. Ensure that the card is fully seated in the slot.
7 If you are installing the card into the x16 card connector, position the card so the securing slot is

aligned with the securing tab, and gently pull the securing tab.

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

9 Before you close the card retention door, ensure that:

The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.
