INSTALLING THE NETWORK CARD

Inserting the Network Card

WARNINGS:

•Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the card, avoid touching its electrical components and always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the card.

•Backup your SuperDisk driver diskette and use the copy as the working diskette to protect the original from accidental damage.

1.Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove the computer’s cover.

2.Select an available 32-bit or 64-bit bus-mastering PCI slot and remove the cover bracket.

•Use a 64-bit PCI slot if your PC supports this standard.

•If using a 32-bit PCI slot, the end of the card’s edge connector will be exposed. Be careful that it does not touch any conducting parts on the PC motherboard.

Note: Some PC motherboard designs may not provide adequate space behind all 32-bit PCI slots to properly install the network card.

3.Install the network card into the slot so that it is firmly seated. Then, screw the card’s bracket securely into the PC’s chassis.
