The option is designed for your computer.

You followed the installation instructions supplied with the option and the installation instructions provided with your computer, and all option files (such as device drivers, if required) are installed correctly.

You have not loosened other installed options or cables.

If the option is an adapter, you have provided enough hardware resources for the adapter to function correctly. See the documentation supplied with the adapter (as well as the documentation for any other installed adapters) to determine the resources required for each adapter.
