Adding Accessories
Installing an Expansion Card
1
Remove the computer’s cover (refer to
“Removing the Cover” on page 39
).
2
On a table top turn the computer on to its side, with the system board closest to the surface of the table top.
3
Find a free expansion card slot with the correct type of connector (
PCI
or
ISA
). Some cards may have preferred
locations, in which case special installation instructions should be detailed in their manuals.
4
Remove the faceplate. If it is tight, loosen the screws on the adjacent slots. Save the retaining screw(s).
5
Handle the card horizontally by its “top” edge with the card’s connector pointing towards the slot’s connector. Do not
bend the card. Carefully slide the card into the slot and firmly press it into place. Ensure that the card’s connector
engages completely with the slot’s connector and does not touch components on other cards.
Caution
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Turn off all equipment. Don’t let your clothes touch the
accessory. To equalize the static electricity, rest the accessory bag on top of the computer while you are removing
the accessory from the bag. Handle the accessory as little as possible and with care.
Note
Some models may be provided with a faceplate that has to be removed with a screwdriver. To do this, insert a
flathead screwdriver into the slot on the faceplate, then push forward until it snaps off.
