Installing the Hardware

1. Network cards are sensitive to static electricity, which can

damage their delicate electronic components. To protect your
device, always:
• Touch the metal chassis of your computer before you pick up

the card. This grounds the electrostatic charge.

• Avoid touching any of the electrical components when

handling the card. If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap
or anti-static gloves.

Note: Dry weather conditions or walking across a carpeted floor may

cause you to acquire an electrostatic charge.

2. Turn off the power to the PC and unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet.

3. Remove the cover to the

PC. Please refer to your
computer’s installation
manual for instructions on
how to remove the cover.

4. Find any available PCI

expansion bus slot and
remove the protector
bracket from the
computer’s case. If you
are planning to install the
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
feature choose an empty
PCI slot that is close to the
matching WOL connector
on the PC’s motherboard.
