suggested that you refer to the computer’s user manual or related docu-
mentation if you have any doubts. Please follow the steps below to install 
the card onto your system.

Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord and cables. 
TURN OFF your computer before installing or removing any com-
ponents on the computer.

2.

wise, the card might be damaged.
