Placing the Network Card Inside Your Computer

Installing the card isn't very difficult. Begin by reading the manual that came with your computer. Look for the section about installing expansion (or "option") cards. It will tell you how to open the case on desktop machines. Next, consult the manual that came with the Ethernet card. It will explain how to install it securely into the machine. There are so many different makes and models of computers, that this document can't be definitive about these steps. But for this "mechanical" part of the installation, this document will provide a generic outline that will help keep you on course.
