▼ To Install the Adapter
The following instructions describe the basic tasks required to install the adapter.
Refer to your system installation or service manual for detailed PCI adapter
installation instructions.
1. Halt and power off your system.
2. Power off all of the peripherals connected to your system.
3. Open the system unit.
4. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to yourself and to the system.
Attach the adhesive copper strip of the antistatic wrist strap to the metal casing of
the power supply. Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive
side against your skin.
5. Holding the PCI adapter by the edges, unpack it and place it on an antistatic
surface.
6. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the PCI filler panel from the slot in
which you want to insert the PCI adapter.
Save the filler panel screw for Step 9.
7. Insert the adapter into the PCI opening.
Holding the PCI adapter by the edges, align the adapter edge connector with a 66
MHz PCI slot or a PCI-X slot. Slide the adapter face plate into the small slot at the
end of the PCI opening.
8. Applying even pressure at both corners of the adapter, push the PCI adapter until
it is firmly seated in the slot.
Caution – Do not use excessive force when installing the adapter into the PCI slot.
You might damage the adapter’s PCI connector. If the adapter does not seat properly
when you apply even pressure, remove the adapter and carefully reinstall it.
9. Secure the adapter to the PCI slot using the screw you removed in Step 6.
10. Close the system.
Note – Green LEDs do not light until the correct driver is installed.
