To Install a PCI Add-on Card

install add-on cards to expand the functionality of your system. The length of the add-on card should not exceed 9.05

inches.

Add-on card configuration varies by model. Some models, such as Configure-to-Order (CTO) systems, may contain

preinstalled add-on cards.

Observe the proper safety precautions when you add cards to your Sony computer. See Before you upgrade

your computer.
