Installing a Network Adapter Card

The following instructions apply to installing both the AT-2973SX and AT-
2973T adapters 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.

To install an AT-2973SX or AT-2973T adapter, perform the following
procedure:

1. Review the “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 26 and “Reviewing

Safety Precautions” on page 24.

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 PCI slot.

See Figure 7 on page 30.

If you do not know how to identify an appropriate PCI slot, refer to your
system documentation.
