Installing Adapters in the Riser Card
Before you begin
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 3 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices”
on page 4.
Read the instructions that come with the new adapter. Determine if the
adapter must be installed in an ISA or PCI slot.
Turn off the computer and all other connected devices.
Disconnect all cables attached to the computer (see “Disconnecting Cables
and Removing the Cover” on page 5).
Attention:

your hardware unless you disconnect the power cord from the wall before
opening the computer.

“Disconnecting Cables and Removing the Cover” on page 5).
To install some adapters, you might need to remove the bottom cover, the
system board, and the fan. For more information, see “Opening the Bottom
Cover” on page 32, “Moving the System Board” on page 34, and “Moving
the Fan” on page 36.
