Installing the Board

supply cables and any telecommunications cables. Remove the
computer's cover.

socket (PCI or ISA). Some boards may have preferred locations, in
which case special installation instructions should be detailed in
their manuals.
Your PC may have a small terminator board installed in a PCI slot. You
must remove this board before installing any PCI accessory boards.
4 Unscrew and remove the accessory board slot cover. Store it in a safe
place. If the slot cover is tight, loosen the screws on the adjacent
slots.
Step 4: Unscrew and
remove the accessory
board slot cover.
5 Hold the board vertically with the connector towards the socket.
Slide it into the free slot from which you have just removed the slot
cover. Do not bend the board.
