Installer is properly grounded before they open the Computer Case or touch the PCI
Card. The Installer should wear an Anti-Static Strap when installing any computer
component. If an Anti-Static Strap is not available, discharge any built-up static
electricity by touching a large Grounded Metal Surface for several seconds. Only
handle the PCI Card by its edges and do not touch the gold connectors.

By default the Full-Prole Bracket is attached to the Serial/Parallel Port(s).
Depending on the system conguration it may be necessary to remove the Full-
Prole Bracket(s) to replace with the Low-Prole Bracket(s) (included).
1. Remove the Hexagonal Standos from both sides of each Port, using a 3/16 Nut
Driver or a pair of Needle-nose Pliers.
2. Remove the Full-Prole Bracket(s) and replace with the Low-Prole Bracket(s).
3. Install the Hexagonal Standos removed in step 1. Thread the Hexagonal
Standos onto each Threaded Post and tighten, using a 3/16 Nut Driver or a pair
of Needle-nose Pliers.
Installing the Card
1. Turn o the Computer and any Peripheral Devices that are connected
(e.g. printers, external hard drives, etc.).
2. Unplug the Power Cable from the rear of the Computer and disconnect any
Peripheral Devices that are connected.
3. Remove the Cover from the Computer Case.
Note: Consult the documentation that came with the Computer for details about
how to do this safely.
4. Locate an open PCI Slot and remove the corresponding Metal Cover Plate from the
rear of the Computer Case. In most instances, the Metal Cover Plate is attached
to the rear of the Computer Case with a single Screw. Save this Screw for the next
