Your computer provides slots for the following cards:
In the small form-factor computer, one low-profile, 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI card or serial port adapter; one DVI adapter card or one 32-bit, low-profile AGP 4x card operating at 1.5 V.
In the small desktop computer, two 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI cards or one PCI card and one serial port adapter; one DVI adapter card or one 32-bit, low-profile AGP 4x card operating at 1.5 V.
In the small mini-tower computer, four 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI cards or three PCI cards and one serial port adapter; one DVI adapter card or one 32-bit, AGP 4x card operating at 1.5 V.
NOTE: Before
disconnecting a device
from the computer or

If you are installing a new card, remove the filler bracket to create an
empty card-slot opening, then continue with step 5.
If you are replacing a card that is already installed in the computer,
remove the card (see "Removing a PCI Card").
If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card. Grasp the card by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.
Prepare the card for installation.
See the documentation that came with the card for information on configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise customizing it for your computer.
CAUTION: Some network adapters automatically start the computer when they are connected to a network. To guard against electrical shock, be sure to unplug your computer from its electrical outlet before installing any cards. Verify that the standby power light on the system board is off. To locate this light, see "System Board."
Place the card on the connector and press down firmly. Ensure that the
card is fully seated in the slot.
If the card is full-length, insert the end of the card into the card guide bracket as you lower the card toward its connector on the system board. Insert the card firmly into the card connector on the system board.
