Installing a Network Adapter Card
The following instructions apply to installing the adapter in most systems.
For details about performing these tasks on your particular system, refer to
the manuals that were supplied with your system.
Note
To perform this procedure, you need to supply a Phillips-head
screw.
Note
The AT-2973SX, AT-2973T, and AT-2973T/4 adapters require a
PCIe x4 PC. The AT-VNC10S adapter requires a PCIe x8 PC.
To install the adapter, do the following:
1. Review the “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 34 and “Reviewing
Safety Precautions” on page 31.
Before installing the adapter, ensure the system power is OFF and
unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical grounding
procedures have been followed.
Warning
High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure
the power is off before removing the cover.
2. Remove the system cover and select any appropriate empty PCIe slot.
If you do not know how to identify an appropriate PCIe slot, refer to the
system documentation that was included with your PC.
