•The MACh Speed G3 Upgrade will face the same direc- tion as the older card that you just removed. In most cases this is with the heat sink towards the Power Supply. The connector is designed to fit only one way.
•Holding the card by the edges (do not depress the heat sink), align the connector end of the card with the CPU card slot. Then, insert into the connector without twisting or rocking.
•You may feel the card going into the slot in two stages: the first row of contacts slides in, and then the second row. Be sure that you push the card all the way into the slot.
•When the card is properly installed, you cannot see any of the gold contacts.
