Installing a Card
1 Turn off the computer and devices, disconnect them from their
electrical outlets, and wait at least 5 seconds. Press and release the
power button to drain the power from the computer, and then remove
the computer cover (see page 40).
2 Prepare the card for installation.
See the documentation that came with the card for information on
configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise
customizing it for your computer.
3 Remove the screw that secures the slot filler bracket to the computer,
and remove the bracket from the computer.
Save the screw to use when installing the card later in this procedure.
CAUTION: Some network cards automatically start up the computer
when they are connected. To guard against electrical shock, be sure to
unplug your computer from its electrical outlet before installing any
cards. Verify that the standby power LED on the system board (see
page 43) is off.
