Touch a metal plate on your computer to ground yourself and to discharge any static electricity, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 3. Remove the computer cover. 4. Remove the metal brackets from two adjacent unused PCI slots as shown in Figure 1-3. Put the screws aside for use later. metal brackets PCI slots ISA slots Figure 1-3: Removing metal plates Remove any existing audio card or disable the onboard audio chipset.
