the card slightly upward and gently slide it from its edge connector slot. Store the card in the anti-static bag that contains
your new module(s).

Insert the edge connector into the slot. The gold edge connector of the card should not be visible when the card is fully
inserted.
Press the card downward where you should hear an audible click as the latches of the connector secure the card in
place.
Once the module is properly seated, you can replace the cover on this compartment. Replace and tighten the screw.
