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.

5. The following will appear, next to the general tab click on sharing.
6. This is where you create your share name for your printer. Click on the radio button that says share this printer.
7. This is the unique name you create for your printer to be shared on the network, so make sure it is something simple and easy to remember. I have used “Dellprinter” for this example. This is case sensitive meaning you have to write exactly where you have put capital letters and lower case letters.
8. Then simply click ok, your printer is now shared.
9. Now for your network to access the printer you need to follow these steps.
Figure out your computer name, so simply right click my computer on your desktop and click properties.
10. The following window will appear.
11. Next to the general tab click computer name.

12. From here click on the change button down the bottom right.
13. You will then see your computer name, write this down somewhere so you don’t forget.
14. Click start down the bottom left
15. Then click on printers and faxes again if you cannot see it click on start, settings then printers and faxes.

16. The following window will appear on the left hand side you will see add a printer. Single click on that icon.
17. Hit the next button.
18. By default it selects local printer attached to this printer, you need to select the radio button which says a network printer, or a printer attached to another computer.
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.
Finshed , You have now successfully added a network printer!
