slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place
for future use.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This

is best to move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the
adapter slot. If this is not possible, set the adapter down in its static-protective
package on a hard surface. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge
connectors on the adapter.

the adapter manufacturer.
11. To install the adapter, carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper
corners, and align it with the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter
firmly into the expansion slot.
