do not install any adapter in the mini-PCI slot.

the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) adapter in the mini-PCI slot. If you are replacing
the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) adapter, the optional PCI adapter and the AGP
video adapter will need to be temporarily removed.
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii, and the guidelines in
"Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 29.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices (see "Turning off the computer"
on page 20).
3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover
(see "Removing the side cover" on page 53).
4. Determine which PCI slot you will use for the adapter. Check 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.
5. For full-length adapters, rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open
(unlocked) position and remove it from the computer. Rotate the front
adapter-retention bracket to the open position. If you are installing a smaller
adapter, remove only the rear adapter-retention bracket.
6. If there is an adapter already installed in the slot, remove it and place it on a
static-protective surface.
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 on all vacant 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
any.
8. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package, carefully grasp the
adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot
guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot. Move the
adapter directly from the static-protective package to the adapter slot. Avoid
touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion
slot before you turn on the computer. Incomplete installation of an adapter
might damage the system board or the adapter
