Working Inside the Computer 59

Press the card gently but ﬁrmly until the connector is fully inserted.

m Don’t rock the card side to side; instead, press the card straight into the slot. (Rocking the

card can damage the PCI slot.)

m Don’t force the card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the card out. Check the

connector and the slot for damage or obstructions, then try inserting the card again.

m Pull the card gently to see if it is properly connected. If it resists and stays in place, and if

its gold connectors are barely visible, the card is connected. (Make sure you don’t pull the

card so much that you accidentally disconnect it.)

4 Reinsert the screw that you removed earlier and tighten it to hold the PCI card in place. If

you have other cards to install, put them in now by repeating steps 1–3.

If you removed a card from your computer and did not install a replacement, install a port

access cover plate next to the slot using the screw that held the card in place. The access

cover maintains the correct air ﬂow and keeps the computer’s components from

overheating.

5 If you are ﬁnished installing items in your computer, skip ahead to “Closing the Computer”

later in this chapter. To install additional items inside your computer, go to the section that

provides the instructions you need.

Warning Do not leave an empty PCI slot uncovered. An uncovered port can affect the

air ﬂow that cools the computer’s internal components and cause damage.
