The following sections explain how to install a network adapter. You will need to perform these steps for each computer you want to include in your network. Remove the cover from your computer. You may need to look at the owners manual that came with your computer to find out how to remove the cover.
Most computers have two different types of slots for the addition of hardware.
PCI expansion slots are generally white and short compared to ISA slots which are typically long and black. Remove the backplate for the PCI slot you located in Step 2. Some other computers have a lever system to release the backplate. If you are stuck, take a look at the owner's manual for your particular computer. Secure the network adapter by making sure that the metal bracket sits evenly against the back of the computer's chassis where you removed the metal backplate.
