If the card does not have a hook on it, simply pass the external connector through the opening in the vertical plate as shown here. (Some cards have an external connector that protrudes out of the opening; others, like here, have a flatter external connector.)

5Passing the external connector through the opening in the vertical plate, insert the card into the communication slot. Press down on the card until the connector is solidly in place.
Don’t force the card. If you meet resistance, pull the card out and try again.
If your card has a hook on it, make sure the hook catches between the layers of the vertical plate.
6To see if the card is properly connected, lift it gently. If it resists and stays in place, it’s connected.
7If the communication card you installed is an Ethernet card, see if you need to install software with it. Install it if you need to.
