Model GA620 Gigabit Ethernet Card Installation Guide for Windows NT Install the Card Install the Card Note: Touch a grounded metal object to free yourself of static electricity before you handle the card. 1. Turn the power off and unplug the power cord from your computer. 2. Remove the PC cover. 3. Choose an available PCI slot (either a 32-bit or a 64-bit slot) and remove the corresponding back plate from the PC chassis. 4. Insert the card into the PCI expansion slot. Note: To avoid damaging any components on the card, handle it by the edges, using your thumbs to push it securely into the PCI slot. Make sure the card is fully inserted into the slot to prevent the PC operating system from freezing at startup. If you are inserting the card into a 32-bit slot, part of the connector edge on the card remains undocked. This situation is normal and does not affect the operation of the card. 5. Fasten the card to the rear of the computer chassis by tightening the screw that is on the PC. 6. Replace the PC cover and reconnect the power cord to the PC.
