CHAPTER 3: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The following instructions apply to installing the Network Interface Adapter PCIe in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were
supplied with your system for details about performing these tasks on your particular system.
To install the network adapter card, perform the following procedure:
WARNING: Before installing the adapter, make sure the system power is OFF and unplugged from the power outlet, and that you
have followed proper electrical grounding procedures.
1. High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure the power is off before removing the cover.
2. Remove the system cover and select any empty PCIe slot. See Fig 3-1.
NOTE: If you do not know how to identify a PCIe slot, refer to your system documentation.
