Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI card and the related
software. Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the
order listed.

Installing the Card

1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.

2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if 
necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.

3. Locate an available PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal plate that 
covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step. 

Retain this screw!

You will need it to secure the card later.

4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.
