Inserting the 3C359 NIC
Follow these steps to insert the 3C359 NIC:
1 Remove the computer’s cover and select a PCI
expansion slot that supports bus mastering.
You can install the 3C359 NIC in either a standard bus
master 32-bit slot, as shown in Figure 2-1, or a newer bus
master 64-bit slot. If both slot types are available in your
PC, place the NIC in the 32-bit slot.

consulting your computer documentation, manufacturer,
or vendor.
2 Unfasten and remove the expansion slot cover
(Figure 2-1) from the selected bus master PCI slot.
Store the expansion slot cover for future use, but retain the
mounting screw for securing the NIC.
