THE

 3C359 NIC

3 Insert the 3C359 NIC in an empty PCI bus master slot 

and secure the mounting screw, as shown in 
Figure 2-2.

Make sure the NIC is completely seated in the slot by 
pushing down firmly on both ends of the NIC. When the 
NIC is correctly seated, the gold connecting fingers inserted 
in the slot do not show.

Note the slot number of the NIC. You may need it during 
driver installation.

4 Replace the unit’s cover and reconnect any cables that 

you may have disconnected from other devices (see 
“Safety Precautions”).

5 Turn the power on.

When power is turned on, the PCI system automatically 
configures the NIC.
