Some network interface controllers (NICs)

automatically start up the system when they are connected to a

computer from its electrical outlet before installing any expansion
cards. Verify that the standby power indicator on the system

board is off. To locate this indicator, see "

connector on the system board. Insert the card firmly into the

expansion-card connector on the system board (see the following
