Removing and Installing Parts

7 Pull the securing tab, grasp the card by its top corners, and then ease it out

of its connector.

8 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, be sure to unplug
your computer from its electrical outlet before installing any cards.

9 If you are installing the card into the x16 card connector, position the card

so that the securing slot is aligned with the securing tab.

NOTICE:

Ensure that you release the securing tab to seat the card. If the card is

not installed correctly, you may damage the system board.

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

is fully seated in the slot.
