3. If you are installing a PCI card, remove the appropriate metal slot cover. If you
are replacing an old PCI card, grasp the old card that is currently installed and
gently pull it out of the slot.
Note: The card fits tightly into the card slot. If necessary, alternate moving each
side of the card a small amount until it is removed from the card slot.
4. Remove the new PCI card from its static-protective package.
5. Install the new PCI card into the appropriate slot on the system board. See
“Locating parts on the system board” on page 11.
Note: If you are installing a PCI Express x16 graphics card, make sure the
memory slot retaining clips are closed before you install the graphics
card.
