existing bracket from the rear panel behind the selected PCI slot.

pansion slot. Press down gently but firmly to ensure that the card
is properly seated in the slot, as shown in Figure 2-10. Next, screw
the bracket into the computer chassis. 11xx cards can fit in both
PCI (32-bit/3.3V) and PCI-X slots. It can get the best performance
installed in a 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slot. 12xx cards require a PCI-
Express 8X slot.
