Disconnect any internal cables that may be in the way. As you do, make a note of their correct locations and orientations for later reattachment. Unscrew the retaining screw for the slot guard, and set it aside. Mount the expansion board into the slot by gently sliding the board into the slot. If the board is long enough to reach the card guide mounted on the front panel support flange, slide the board down the center groove of the guide.
Making sure the board is correctly aligned, carefully insert the board’s edge contacts into the slot connector on the main system unit’s motherboard. A gentle rocking motion is helpful in getting the board started in the edge connector.
Once started, press the board into the motherboard connector until it is seated completely. The tab at the bottom of the mounting bracket should fit into the slot at the bottom rear of the main system unit, and the bracket’s top flange should rest directly on top of the rear panel support.
