slot opening. Then continue with step 7.

by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.

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.
CAUTION: Some network adapters automatically start the computer when they

your computer from its electrical outlet before installing any cards.
