P/I-AP55T User's Manual Before you start, always make sure the computer is turned off. You should also make sure to observe standard static electricity discharge precautions. You can damage your expansion card, the mainboard, or both by not being careful about this. The basic procedure for installing expansion cards is the same for both ISA and PCI cards. The basic procedure is as follows: 1. Open the system case to gain access to the expansion slots. 2. Remove the slot-cover corresponding to the slot you want plan to use. Put the slot-cover retaining screw aside and store the slot cover in case you need it later. 3. Remove the card from its protective packaging if you haven't already. 4. Align the card's slot connectors to the slot. Keep the card at a 90° angle to the slot riser card. Insert the card into the slot by pressing it in firmly . If there is a lot of resistance, make sure the slot connectors are lined up correctly. PCI cards require little pressure to insert. 5. Attach the card's mounting bracket to the case using the slot cover screw you put aside in Step 2. 6. Close the case, turn on the computer and check to see if the card is working properly as well as do any software set up required. 2 - 2
