Be sure to put the screws you removed in a safe place, as you will need them again when replacing the shell on your computer. Step 3 Carefully remove the panel/shell from your computer.
Step 5 Locate an available PCI expansion slot (usually white/beige in color). This will be in the area of your computer where other cards that look similar to the Dual Link card are installed. Step 6 Visually confirm that the Dual Link PCI Card will fit into the available slot you have chosen. Step 7 If necessary, remove the knockout on the back of your computer which corresponds to the PCI slot you have confirmed as your selection.
Step 9 Mount the Dual Link PCI Card in place with a screw. Make sure the screw is firmly tightened so the Dual Link PCI Card does not slide out of its seated position. Step 10 Replace the computer’s panel/shell and screw it back in place with the screws you removed in step 2. Step 11 Now that your Dual Link PCI Card is installed and the shell is in place, you can safely connect the power cable. Now turn on your computer.
