procedure for your computer model.

on the chassis.

An expansion card is a
circuit board that fits into a
computer expansion slot.
The card adds a certain
function such as a modem,
sound or audio card,
Network Interface Card
(NIC), or Small Computer
System Interface (SCSI)
adapter.
This topic shows you how
to add or replace
expansion and option
cards in your computer.
The type and number of
expansion slots may vary
by computer model.
Be sure the expansion card is
properly positioned in the
rear connector slot on the
chassis.
