Inserting the PC Compatibility Card

12Prepare the first PCI expansion slot.

You need to install your PC Compatibility Card in the first PCI expansion slot, the slot closest to the center of the computer.

m If there is already a card in the first slot, move it to a different slot. If you will be installing a PC Serial and Parallel Card, you should also remove any card in the second slot (next to the first slot).

IMPORTANT Always hold PCI cards by their edges. Don’t touch any of the components on the cards.

m If there is a port access cover installed, remove it.
