Adapter Card
To protect adapter cards from static electricity:
•
Before removing the card from its anti-static bag, discharge static
electricity from your body by touching the metal cabinet of any electrical
equipment (the equipment must be plugged into a grounded outlet).
•
Always hold a card or board by its edges.
•
Do not rest the board on any static-generating surface such as carpeting or
paper.
1. Open the system as described on page 15.
2. Remove the screw securing the cover plate from an available expansion slot.
Save the screw.
3. Remove the cover plate and set aside for future use.
4. Align the adapter card into the slot and gently slide it into the socket until it is
firmly seated.
5. Secure the card with the screw you removed in step 2.
6. Close the system (as described on page 16) and power it up.
