Installing the AccelePort RAS Adapter
Follow the instructions below.
IMPORTANT! Before installing your AccelePort RAS adapter, please verify that you
have the correct version for your country. The label on the adapter package identifies
for which countries the adapter is certified.
CAUTION! Do not remove the AccelePort RAS adapter from its protective sleeve until
you have grounded yourself to the computer chassis (see step 4, below).
1. Unplug power from the computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover.
3. Locate an available PCI slot in your computer and remove the slot plate.
CAUTION! Check for obstructions between the PCI slot and the slot plate (back of
machine). Some PCI slots may have components or header pins in this area, and
plugging the AccelePort RAS adapter into one of these slots could result in damage.
Never force the adapter into a slot.
4. Put on the wrist strap (included in your AccelePort RAS package) and attach it to the
computer’s chassis.
5. Remove the AccelePort RAS adapter from its anti-static sleeve.

endplate must be screwed into the computer chassis to remain in compliance with
Part 15 of FCC rules.
