Installing a Network Adapter Card
The following instructions apply to installing an AT-2711 series adapter 
card in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were supplied with your 
system for details about performing these tasks on your particular system. 
To install the network adapter card, perform the following procedure:
1. Review the “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 27 and “Reviewing 
Safety Precautions” on page 25. 
Before installing the adapter card, ensure the system power is OFF 
and unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical 
grounding procedures have been followed. 
Warning
High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure 
the power is off before removing the cover.
2. Remove the system cover and select any empty PCIe slot. See
