Installing the NIC

To install the NIC in the PC:
1 Make sure that you have run the preinstallation
program, as described in the previous section.
CAUTION: Before handling the NIC, touch the bare metal
case of your PC to discharge static electricity from your
body. While you are handling the NIC, wear a wrist strap
grounded to the PC chassis.
2 Remove all jewelry from your hands and wrists. Use
only insulated or nonconducting tools.
3 Make sure that the power to the PC is turned off and
that the power cord is unplugged.
4 Remove the cover from the PC.
5 Locate an empty, nonshared bus mastering PCI slot
and remove the corresponding slot cover. Save
the screw.
Do not install the NIC in a shared PCI slot. Avoid any
PCI slot next to an ISA slot. This is often a shared slot
and does not support bus mastering.
If you do not know how to identify a PCI slot, check your
PC documentation or ask your system administrator.
If you are planning to install the Remote Wake-Up cable or
a cable for the SOS or SMBus connector, choose an empty
PCI slot that is close to the matching connector on the
PC motherboard.
6 Carefully insert the NIC into the empty PCI slot (see
Figure 1). Press firmly to ensure that the NIC is fully
seated in the slot.
