To install an expansion card:
1 Remove the side panel (see page 42).
2 Locate an empty PCI-E or PCI slot on the mainboard.
3 Remove the lock that holds the bracket to the computer.
4 Pull out the bracket on the housing opposite the selected empty slot.
5 Remove the expansion card from its protective packaging.
6 Align the card with the empty bracket and then insert it into the slot.
Make sure that the card is properly seated.
7 Secure the card to your computer with the bracket lock you
removed earlier.

When you turn on the computer, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
automatically detects and assigns resources to the newly installed devices.
