(as shown in inset) of the filler panel and work the screwdriver up and down to

loosen the panel. Detach the filler panel from the tabs at each end and remove.

Carefully position the Daughtercard over the connector. Press down firmly so the

daughtercard connector seats properly with the motherboard connector.

CAUTION: Ensure that daughtercard connector pins are properly aligned with

the corresponding motherboard connector to prevent damage to the card when

power is applied.
