2Locate an empty PCI-E or PCI conventional slot on the mainboard.

3Remove the bracket lock that holds the bracket to the computer. Save the bracket lock.

4Pull out the bracket on the housing opposite the selected empty slot.

When you turn on the computer, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) automatically detects and assigns resources to the newly-installed devices.
