2.2  INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

To install the bc630AT module in your computer chassis:

1.

 

Remove the computer chassis cover.

 

2.

 

Select a vacant expansion slot and remove the blank rear panel bracket.  Save the screw.

 

3.

 

Slide the bc630AT Real Time Clock Module straight down to engage the motherboard 
connectors.

 

4.

 

Fasten the top of the bracket to the chassis using the screw that was saved from Step 2.

 

5.

 

Replace the chassis cover.
