PCI Cards
If you are replacing a card, uninstall the driver for the existing card. See the documentation that came with the card for instructions.
Installing a PCI Card
1. Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin."
2. Gently push the release tab on the card retention latch from the inside to pivot the latch open. The latch will remain in the open position.
3. Remove the card retention mechanism:
a. Place your thumb on the top of the card retention mechanism and grip the bottom of the retention mechanism with your fingers.
b. With your free hand, gently squeeze the sides of the card retention mechanism to release it from the tab slots holding it in place.
c. Pivot the card retention mechanism upward to release it from the two tab slots.
4. If you are installing a new card, remove the filler bracket to create a card-slot opening. Then continue with step6.
5. If you are replacing a card that is already installed in the computer, remove the card.
If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card. If your card includes a card retention bar, remove the bar. Gently pull the securing tab, grasp
the card by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.
6. Prepare the new 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.
7. Place the card in the connector and press down firmly. Ensure that the card is fully seated in the slot.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions located in the Product Information Guide.
NOTICE: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your
computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
NOTE: Your Dell computer uses only a PCI slot. ISA cards are not supported.
CAUTION: Some network adapters automatically start the computer when they are connected to a network. To guard against electrical shock, be
sure to unplug your computer from its electrical outlet before installing any cards.
