Remove the filler bracket or existing card (see "Removing PCI and PCI Express Cards" on page 86) to
create a card-slot opening.

Prepare the card for installation.
See the documentation that came with the card for information on configuring the card, making
internal connections, or otherwise customizing it for your computer.

Position the card so that it is aligned with the slot and the securing tab (if present) is aligned with the
securing slot.
NOTE: If the card is full-length, insert the card guide into the alignment slot on the fan bracket.
NOTICE: Ensure that you release the securing tab to seat the card. If the card is not installed correctly, you may
damage the system board.
