Adding Cards

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions on page 7.

Install only PCI cards in your computer. Before installing a card, make sure that a slot is available for it.

NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug it from the network jack.

1Turn off the computer and devices, and disconnect them from their electrical outlets.

2Briefly press the power button.

Pressing the power button when the computer is not connected to an electrical outlet discharges residual electricity and can help prevent system board damage.

3Remove the computer cover (see page 42).

4Unscrew and remove the filler bracket for the card slot you want to use.
