Follow these steps to install an option card:

1.If you are installing a card in the option slot for the first time, you need to remove the metal cover for that slot on the inside back panel. Remove the retaining screw securing the option slot cover to the computer. (Keep the screw to secure the option card to the computer.)

2.Slide out the slot cover and set it aside. (Store the slot cover in a safe place in case you remove the option card later.)

3.Unpack the option card and adjust any switches or jumpers on it, if necessary. (Check the option card instructions.) When you handle the card, do not touch any of the components on the circuit board or the gold-edged connectors. If you need to set it down before you install it, place it gently on top of its original packing material with the component side facing up. Keep the packing materials in case you remove the card later.
