Locate an available slot and remove the slot cover by releasing the lock
tab. Save the cover for reinstallation if you need to remove the card. (You
can use a blunt tool such as a flat-bladed screwdriver if the tab does not
release with finger pressure.) Either apply inward pressure to the middle
of the slot cover or use a flat-bladed screwdriver and insert it into the
tab hole.
6 Insert the edge of the expansion card into the slot on the riser card and
press firmly to seat the card.

After seating the card firmly, replace the slot cover bracket.

Connect any cables to the card (see card documentation for proper
jumper settings and cable orientation)

Close the case (see “Closing the case” on page 19.)

Reconnect peripherals, the modem cord, and the power cord, and turn
on the system.
You may need to reconfigure your system after installing some expansion
cards. You may also need to install software that came with the card. Check
the card documentation for additional information.
