The instructions for installing the PCI card and PCI module may be found in Chapter 4,
"Installing and Removing PCI Boards," in your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide. The
steps involved in the process are outlined below, along with references to specific

Note: In addition to the mouse and keyboard port, the Duo PCI card contains an
Ethernet port. If you were using the Ethernet port, removing the Duo PCI card could
affect your system connectivity and operation.
