Steps

  1. Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation.
    For instructions, see the documentation shipped with the card.

  3. Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully seated.
  4. Close the expansion card release latch.

Next steps
