Locating the Expansion Slots:
1. Place the open computer frame on its side with the motherboard facing up. This means you can see the motherboard from a bird's eye view. The motherboard is the biggest board you can see within the frame. It usually covers an entire side and has other smaller boards sticking up from it.
2. Looking at the motherboard, try to locate the expansion slots. Expansion slots are either long black strips or short white strips that look like Lego blocks standing up. ISA slots are black. PCI slots are white. Open slots are those that do not have other boards inserted in them.


Installing Your New Card:
1. Determine which interface (ISA or PCI) your card uses. ISA is long and the gold contacts are large. PCI is much shorter and smaller.
2. Next, check to see if the expansion slot opening next to the slot is covered. If it is, remove the cover by unscrewing it from the frame or popping it out. (IMPORTANT: Keep the screw and the slot cover.) If you have a new case that has slot covers built in you will have to remove them manually with a screwdriver. Please refer to your user manual for details.
3. When the slot cover has been removed, insert your card into the expansion slot on the motherboard. Press firmly so the entire part of the card that has the gold contacts goes completely into the expansion slot on the motherboard and will go no further. Do not use any tools to try to hammer the card in if it does not fit.
4. Make sure the side of the card resembling the expansion slot cover you just removed is covering most of the open slot.
5. Screw the card into place with the screw you removed from the expansion slot cover or a new screw.

Replacing the Case:
1. After confirming the proper placement of the card, make sure you did not leave any tools or screws within the computer. Replace the case and screw it back in place.
2. Reconnect all the cables to their proper places.

Booting Up:
1. Turn on the power.
2. Refer to your user's manual to install the proper drivers from the disk(s) that came with the card.
3. Refer to the section setting up and configuring your computer for ResNet for the settings you will need to access ResNet.

19. Once you have selected a network printer click next at the bottom right.
20. Select the radio button that says connect to this printer.
21. For the name this is where your computer name goes as well as the printer share name we created earlier. So I would type \\Deano\Dellprinter, Yours would be \\computername\shareprintername. This is case sensitive remember type it exactly how you wrote it down.
21. Once you have typed in your correct computer name and printer name hit the next button, if for some reason it pops up with a username and password just enter your username and password you use to log in to windows with.
