Look at the MBA ROM while it is still in its protective foam. When the label on
the top of the ROM is right side up, you should see a small half
circle at the
left edge of the ROM. This indicates the ROM's Pin 1 notch.

Remove the MBA ROM from its protective foam. The pins on the ROM are very
delicate, so be careful not to damage them. Align the notch on the top of the
MBA ROM with the notch in the ROM socket on the NIC.
