7 Prepare the card for installation.

See the documentation that came with the card for information on
configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise
customizing it for your computer.

CAUTION:

Some network adapters automatically start the computer when they

are connected to a network. To guard against electrical shock, laceration by
moving fan blades, or other unexpected injuries, always unplug your computer
from the electrical outlet before installing any cards.

8 Place the card in the connector and press down firmly. Ensure that the card

is fully seated in the slot.

9 If you are installing the PCI Express card into the x16 card connector,

position the card so the securing slot is aligned with the securing tab.
