Installing a Port Adapter

Step 2
Before you insert the new port adapter in its slot, verify that the port adapter carrier is
between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in Figure 3-5. Do not jam the carrier
between the slot edges.
Caution To ensure a positive ground attachment between the port adapter carrier and the VIP2
motherboard and port adapter slot, and to ensure that the connectors at the rear of the port adapter
and slot mate properly, the carrier must be between the upper and lower slot edges. (See Figure 3-5.)
Step 3 Carefully slide the new port adapter into the port adapter slot until the connector on the
port adapter is completely mated with the connector on the motherboard. (See
Figure 3-6.)
