1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines"
on page 29.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices (see "Turning off the computer"
on page 19); then, disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 35).
4. Lift up on the bottom edge of the internal drive-bay bracket and rotate the
bracket out of the computer.
5. Determine which PCI slot you will use for the adapter. Review the instructions
that come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling
instructions. It might be easier to route cables before you install the adapter.
6. Prepare the slot:
v If the slot contains a full-length adapter, rotate the rear adapter-retention
bracket and then the front adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked)
position. Grasp the adapter and pull it out of the slot.
v If the slot contains a smaller adapter, rotate only the rear adapter-retention
bracket to the open (unlocked) position. Grasp the adapter and pull it out of
the slot.
v If the slot is empty, remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the
computer, press on the slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion
slot. Store it in a safe place for future use.
Attention:
Expansion-slot covers must be installed in all empty slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the computer and ensures
proper ventilation of computer components.
7. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if
there are any.
Attention:
Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
8. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if any)
from the end of the adapter.
