INSTALLING THE NETWORK CARD

Inserting the Network Card

1.Switch off all computer system components, unplug the com- puter, and remove the computer cover.

2.Work in a static-free area and touch the computer chassis often to equalize static charges.

3.Install the network card into an available bus-mastering PCI slot.

4.Make sure the network card is completely seated so that no “gold fingers” are exposed.
