Installing the PC Compatibility Card hardware

There are several steps to installing your PC Compatibility Card hardware:
m opening the computer
m installing the card
m installing the internal PC audio/video assembly
m closing the computer

Opening the computer

IMPORTANT

To avoid generating static electricity that may damage

components, do not walk around the room until you have completed the
installation of the expansion card or memory and closed the computer.
Additionally, move the logic board as little as possible while it is outside the
computer case.

1

Shut down your computer by choosing Shut Down from the Special menu.

You can also press the Power key (marked with a π) on the keyboard.

2

Unplug all the cables except the power cord from the computer (including the cable that
connects your keyboard to the computer).

Leaving the power cord plugged in helps protect the computer from damage
caused by electrostatic discharge. You’ll unplug the power cord later.
