Installing Adapter into PCI slot

Step 1:
Turn off the power to the PC.
Step 2:
Remove any metal decorations from your hands and wrists.
Step 3:
Remove the cover from your PC.
Step 4:
Locate an empty, non-shared bus mastering 32-bit and 64-bit PCI
slot and remove the corresponding backplate. Save the screw for
use in Step 6.
i. Do not install the adapter in a shared PCI slot. Avoid any PCI slot next to
an ISA slot because this is often a shared slot and does not support bus
mastering.
ii. If you have problems in identifying a suitable slot, check your PC
documentation or ask your system administrator for help.
Step 5:
Carefully insert the adapter into the chosen slot and press firmly
with proper alignment to ensure it is fully seated in the slot.
Step 6:
Secure the adapter with the screw you saved in step 4.
Step 7:
Replace the PC cover.
Step 8:
Proceed to the "Connecting to Your Network" section.
