by the edge; do not touch board components or gold connector contacts. The use of a static ground strap is recommended. Step 4. Locate the slots for PCI plug-in board installation. Refer to the user’s manual for your computer to confirm the location of the PCI slots. The LSI8751D requires a PCI slot which allows bus master operation. Step 5. Remove the blank panel on the back of the computer aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket screw. Step 6. Carefully insert the edge con
