Chuck Eglinton: I suppose this depends on your computer and how comfortable you are opening it. Be sure the computer is powered off and the power cord isn't plugged in. It's always good to discharge any static from your body by touching a ground source. Remove your computer's outer case and locate the card slots on your computer's main board. If you see an open slot, that's easy to get to, seat the USB 2.0 PCI card in your computer use the Philips screw on the case to secure it, then power up your computer. Your computer will likely recognize that you've added the card and may (or may not) require that you insert the drive disk that was packed with the USB 2.0 PCI card. If any of these steps seem overwhelming to you, then you can take it to a professional.
