WARNING To avoid damaging your computer and expansion card, do not attempt to install any expansion card without first checking the documentation for that card. If the documentation specifies that an Apple-certified technician must install the card (usually because

If you attempt to install the card yourself, any damage you may cause to your computer or card will not be covered by the limited warranty on your computer.
