Because computer models vary, there may be different procedures to
access and select an adapter slot. Before you install the adapter, you
should refer to the manuals that apply to your particular computer for
instructions. Identify the following information:

if any
• how to access the computer’s adapter slot(s)

Select an available HP-PB adapter slot. Remove the slot cover for that
slot. Refer to your computer system administrator’s documentation.

Record the slot number for future reference. If there are no other
adapters to install, reassemble the computer.

Insert the adapter into the adapter slot connector and press in firmly
until the adapter is fully seated into the connector. Refer to Figure 1-2.
