Hardware Installation

Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the card, avoid
touching its electrical components and always touch the metal chassis of
your computer before handling the card.

1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove the

computer’s cover.

2. Select an unused PCI bus master slot and remove its protective

bracket.

3. Carefully insert the card and press until all the edge connectors are

firmly seated inside the slot. Then screw the card’s bracket securely
into the PC’s chassis.
