Installing the card
Read all these instructions through before attempting
to install any expansion card.
Warning
Never carry out any work inside the computer with AC
power applied. Always shut down the computer and
unplug all power cords before removing the top cover.
The only tool required is a small cross-head
screwdriver.
1.
Turn off the computer and unplug all power
cords.
2.
Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove
the system unit cover. For more information see
"Anti-static precautions" in the Safety &
Regulatory Notices at the start of this manual.
3.
Decide in which of the available slots you wish
to install the card, according to its type and size.
In general it is easiest, where possible, to start
with the lowest slot and work upwards.
4a. If the chosen slot is on the left-hand side of the
system unit (when viewed from the front)
remove its blanking plate by removing the
securing screw. Keep the screw; it will be needed
later to secure the card.
4b. If the chosen slot is on the right-hand side of the
system unit (nearer the power supply) remove
the plate with the security loop – labelled (A) in
the illustration below – then remove the slot's
blanking plate.
