Apple 9600 manual 105

If you are installing a 12-inch card, make sure the other end of the card fits into the proper card guide.

If the PCI card you are installing is full-length (12 inches), be sure that it fits in one of the six card guides toward the front of the computer.

5Press the card gently but firmly until the connector is fully inserted.

m Don’t rock the card side to side; instead, press the card straight into the slot. (Rocking the card can damage the PCI slot.)

m Don’t force the card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the card out and try again.

m To see if the card is properly connected, pull it gently. If it resists and stays in place, it’s connected. (Make sure you don’t pull the card so much that you accidentally disconnect it.)

Note: In rare cases, a 12-inch PCI card may have long ports that make it difficult to insert into the slot. If you have tried several times to insert a card and are still unsuccessful, skip now to “Installing an Unusually Long PCI Card,” next.
