Warning
To avoid damaging your computer and expansion card, do not attempt to install any
expansion card without first checking the documentation for that card. If the documentation specifies
that an Apple-certified technician must install the card (usually because the installation requires special
training or tools), consult the service and support information that came with your computer for
instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider for assistance. If you attempt to
install the card yourself, any damage you may cause to the computer or card will not be covered by
the limited warranty on your computer. If the card is not an Apple-labeled product, check with an
Apple-authorized dealer or service provider to see if you can install it yourself.
