Installing the Motherboard

Follow these instructions to install an add-on card:

1

Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the

slot you are going to use.

2

Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot.

Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot.

3

Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.

For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapt-
ers, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the
add-on card.
