2.Unpack the option card and adjust any switches or jumper connections on it if necessary. (For example, a memory expansion card usually contains DIP switches that you need to set. See the option card instructions.)

Note: If the option card you are installing requires you to change any of the jumper connections on the Equity II+ main circuit board, memory card, or multi-function card, see Appendix A, “Jumper Settings.”

When you handle the card, be careful not to touch any of the contacts on the circuit board, especially the gold-edged connections. If you need to set it down before you install it, place it on top of its original packing material with the component side facing down.

Keep the card’s packing materials in case you remove the card later.

3.Grip the card firmly by the top corners and position it at the top of the slot. Make sure the contact pins point down and the components face the inside of the main unit.

4.Insert the card in the slot as shown in Figure 4-7. When the card is almost all the way in, make sure the tab at the bottom of the metal adapter plate on the end of the card goes into the corresponding notch at the back of the computer.
