Apple PC Serial and Parallel Card - Manual (Page 8)

Inserting the PC Serial and Parallel Card
11 Flip the PC Serial and Parallel Card over and insert it into the first (top) PCI slot.
IMPORTANT Always hold the card by its edges. Don’t touch any of the
components on the card.
Place one hand behind the PCI slots in the area indicated below. With your
other hand, align the card’s connector end (gold in color) with the first (top)
PCI expansion slot. The ports on the card should face the port access opening
on the computer’s back panel. Press the card in. When the card is fully
inserted, you won’t be able to see the gold-colored connector any more.
m Don’t rock the card from side to side; press it straight into the slot. Rocking
the card can damage the PCI slot.
m Don’t force the card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the card out and
try again.
m To see if the card is connected, pull it gently. If it resists, it is connected.
Support the slots with your hand in this
area only (shown tinted here) to avoid
pressing against the soldered pins on
the back of the PCI slots.
