4 Remove the cover from your PC.

5 Locate an empty, nonshared bus mastering PCI slot and

remove the corresponding slot cover. Save the screw.

Do not install the NIC in a shared PCI slot. Avoid any

PCI slot next to an ISA slot. This is often a shared slot and

does not support bus mastering.

If you do not know how to identify a PCI slot, check your

PC documentation or ask your system administrator.

If you are planning to install the Remote Wake-Up cable,

choose an empty PCI slot that is close to the 3-pin

Remote Wake-Up connector on the PC motherboard.

6 Carefully insert the NIC into the empty PCI slot (see

Figure 1). Press ﬁrmly with steady pressure to ensure

that the NIC is fully seated in the slot.
