Remove the chassis cover from your computer
4.
Locate an unused PCI Express slot (typically white and smaller) and remove the corresponding slot cover from computer chassis.
5.
Plug the Dual Channel Ethernet PCIe card to the unused PCI Express expansion slot and attached the I/O card bracket to the computer chassis screw.
6.
Put the chassis cover back on the computer.
7.
Turn ON the power of your computer and peripherals.
8.
Proceed with Software Driver Installation.
9.
