• Use a 64-bit PCI slot if your PC supports this standard.

• If using a 32-bit PCI slot, the end of the card’s edge connector

will be exposed. Be careful that it does not touch any
conducting parts on the PC motherboard.

Note: Some PC motherboard designs may not provide

adequate space behind all 32 or 64-bit PCI slots to
properly install the network card.

3. Install the network card into the slot so that it is firmly seated.

Then, screw the card’s bracket securely into the PC’s chassis.
