2. Use static electricity discharge precautions. To avoid damaging
any components on the card, handle it by edges.
3. Remove the chassis cover from your computer
4. Locate an unused PCI Express slot (typically white and smaller)
and remove the corresponding slot cover from computer chassis.
5. Plug the Dual Channel Ethernet PCIe card to the unused PCI
Express expansion slot and attached the I/O card bracket to the
computer chassis screw.
6. Put the chassis cover back on the computer.
7. Turn ON the power of your computer and peripherals.
8. Proceed with Software Driver Installation.
9. Installing LAN cables
Connect the LAN cables to both RJ45 connectors of the Dual
Channel Ethernet PCIe card. The ‘LINK’ LEDs will light if link on.
However, the ‘ACT’ LEDs will flash when transferring data.
