A screwdriver is needed to install your new peripheral.  Proceed as follows:
1.  Discharge static by touching a grounded metal surface. (such as the 
metal case of  a power supply unit.
 
2.  Turn off the computer and all peripheral devices.  Disconnect the 
computer from the power supply and all components to avoid 
obstruction.   If you are not familiar with the cables connected, jot 
down all connections for reference.
 
3. 	Loosen the screws of the computer cover and remove it. 
 
4. 	Select a free master PCI slot.  Remove the slot cover at the back of the 
computer.  Save the screws of the cover.  Check the computer main 
board manual for the location of a master PCI slot, as some computer 
has non-master PCI slot. If you have multiple free PCI slots, choose 
the slot that is most distant from other parts to minimize the chances 
of interference.

6.  Fasten the interface card bracket at the back of the computer using the 
screws you saved.
