the riser-board connector or system board may occur.
7. Insert the expansion card firmly into the expansion-card connector.
A cutout in the card-edge connector aligns with a crossbar in the expansion-card
connector. Gently rock the card into the connector until it is fully seated (see
Figure 2-10).

8. When the card is firmly seated in the connector, secure the card-mounting
bracket (see Figure 2-10) with the screw you removed in step 6.
Make sure that the front of the card-edge connector is completely seated in the
expansion-card connector. The bottom of the card-mounting bracket must be
inside the card-slot opening, and the top of the bracket must be flush against
the bracket mount with the notch aligned with the screw hole in the bracket
mount. “Expansion Cards” in Chapter 5 provides more information on correctly
seating an expansion card.
9. Replace the filler-bracket cap and screw that you removed in step 5.
10. Connect any cables required for the card as described in the documentation that
came with the card.
