▼To Install the Adapter

Note –The following instructions describe the basic tasks required to install the adapter. Refer to your system installation or service manual for detailed PCI adapter installation instructions.

1.Halt and power off your system.

2.Power off all of the peripherals connected to your system.

3.Open the system unit.

4.Attach the adhesive copper strip of the antistatic wrist strap to the metal casing of the power supply. Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive side against your skin.

5.Holding the PCI adapter by the edges, unpack it and place it on an antistatic surface.

6.Using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the PCI filler panel from the slot in which you want to insert the PCI adapter.

Save the filler panel screw for Step 9.

7.Holding the PCI adapter by the edges, align the adapter edge connector with the PCI slot. Slide the adapter face plate into the small slot at the end of the PCI opening.
