4 Remove the cover from your PC.
5 Locate an empty, nonshared bus mastering PCI slot and
remove the corresponding slot cover. Save the screw.
Do not install the NIC in a
shared
PCI slot. Avoid any
PCI slot next to an ISA slot. This is often a shared slot and
does not support bus mastering.
If you do not know how to identify a PCI slot, check your
PC documentation or ask your system administrator.
If you are planning to install the Remote Wake-Up cable,
choose an empty PCI slot that is close to the 3-pin
Remote Wake-Up connector on the PC motherboard.
6 Carefully insert the NIC into the empty PCI slot (see
Figure 1). Press firmly with steady pressure to ensure
that the NIC is fully seated in the slot.
