Insert the PC Compatibility Card into the second slot.

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 second PCI
expansion slot. The ports on the card should face the port access opening on
the computer’s back panel. The other end of the card (where the card extension
bracket is) should engage the card guide. Press in on the card. 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.

Second PCI slot

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.
