Installing PCI Cards

1) First make sure that you computer is completely unplugged (all devices and especially the mains connection). Also wear an anti-static wristband and connect it to a metal object to ground yourself.

2) To start remove you PCI card from its packaging and check it looks alright. Remember hold it by the edges making sure not to touch any components on it.

3) Next locate a free PCI slot on your motherboard.

4) Insert the PCI card into the slot provided using a bit of pressure when necessary. Make sure that the ridge in the PCI slot and the groove in the care match up and fit alright. You will know when the PCI Card is fully in as it will not go any further.

5) Insert a screw at the top of the metal plate (making sure that the holes are in line) and screw a screw into it.

There you go your PCI card should be installed now!
