Step 1. Read the information (below) in this step. An understanding of this
section is important in order for you to make the correct decision(s) later

2. Insert the card into an empty, powered-off slot, then enter SAM.

• Alternatively, select an “empty slot” or “unknown card” on the I/O
cards screen, then select “Actions->Add”. The same dialog will
appear, with the previously selected slot highlighted. Press “OK”
to continue, or “Cancel” to cancel the operation.
3. SAM performs a critical resource analysis. Unless the selected slot is

Do not press “OK” until the new card has been inserted. Press
“Cancel” to leave the slot powered off. The new card can be inserted
later and activated using “Method 2” below. Press “OK” to continue
