Checklist for handling card:

When removing or installing card, handle it only by the edges. Do not touch its connectors or any components.

Don’t rock card from side to side; instead, lift card straight up from connecotr to remove it, and press card straight into slot to install it.

Don’t force card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull card out. Check connector and slot for damage or obstructions, then try inserting card again.

Pull card gently to see if it is properly connected. If it resists and stays in place and its gold connectors are barely visible, card is connected.
