Remove the expansion card from its anti-static
wrapping. Take hold of the card by its edges, but
avoid touching its electrical contacts. Firmly but
carefully, push the card into the chosen expansion
slot. It will only go in one way. Keep the card upright
as you insert it so as not to place any strain on the
connectors. Do
not rock the card back and forth as
you seat it in its slot.

Fix the card to the cage with the slot blanking plate
screw.
7.
Refit the expansion card cage. Replace the system
unit cover.
Depending on the type of card you have just installed, you
may have to reconfigure your machine with the SETUP
configuration software to take advantage of the facilities
offered by the card. (If you are upgrading a diskless
workstation, the network administrator may do this for you,
or else make a copy of the SETUP software available over
the network.) The SETUP software is described in the
Reference/SETUP Diskette User’s Guide.
Keep the slot blanking plate in case you decide to remove
the card later (empty expansion slots should
not be left
uncovered).
