computer before installing or removing any components on the computer.
2. Remove the cover of your computer.

4. Touch the metal part on the surface of your computer to neutralize the static
electricity that might be on your body.
5. Insert the PCIE-1750U/UH card into a PCI Express slot. Hold the card only by

of excessive force must be avoided, otherwise the card might be damaged.
