Network Interface Card is a computer hardware component designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network. It is both an OSI layer 1 (physical layer) and layer 2 (data link layer) device, as it provides physical access to a networking medium and provides a low-level addressing system through the use of MAC addresses. It allows users to connect to each other either by using cables or wirelessly.

1. First step is to read the guide of users and to become familiar with the new card.
   
   
2. Switch off the computer & Open the CPU
   
   
3. Look for the PCI Card slot & see weather it is empty or anything is attached, If empty then Insert carefully into the slot...!
   
   
   
   • Push the card into the slot to make it fit perfectly.
     
     
   • Also screw the card on the computer case but not so much tight.
   
   
   
4. Now close the CPU & PLUG it.
