Refer to your computer user’s manual and remove the computer cover. Make sure that you have an
available PCIe slot on your motherboard to install the Prodigy X-Fi NRG.
Removing the computer cover
To avoid possible static shock damage to the computer parts, discharge it by touching the computer
case or something grounded. We recommend you use an anti-static device such as an anti-static
wristband.
When holding the Prodigy X-Fi NRG card, touch only the guide or the edge of card. Do not grab
the card by the board or connector.
4.2 PCIe Card Installation
Find an empty PCIe slot on the motherboard. If you are unsure, please check the manual of your
mainboard or computer to identify the PCIe slot, or consult a computer specialist.
Typical PC Motherboard Slot Configuration
If a faceplate or cover is behind the PCIe slot, you can remove it by removing the screw holding it
in place or by prying it off with a screwdriver.
