EISA/ISA) you will use and whether there are any jumpers or
switches on the card that you need to configure.

Remove the blanking plate from the the rear panel access opening
that corresponds to the slot in question.

insert one edge into the slider guide, attached to the cooling fan
assembly metalwork, as you fit the card.
4.
Ensure that the card is firmly seated in its slot, but do not use
excessive force.
5.
Fasten the card in place using the blanking plate securing screw.

Run the System Configuration Utility (SCU) to complete the
installation process.
