Help about insert PCI card

[josephmai]

Hi all,

I'm not clear about hardware much, I hope someone help me this case:
I'm using mainboard GA-Z77M-D3H

Now I'd like to insert my old wireless PCI card REALTEK RTL8185L

I don't know if it's possible to insert this PCI card to this slot as I see the card has "3 parts" different than "2 parts" in the slot.
Could you give me some advice?

Thanks & best regards.
JM.

PS: Sorry for my bad English and expression.

Don't worry, the characteristic notch makes it easy to tell the difference between like pcie and pciex16. Your wireless PCI card is the universal (3.5V or 5V )32-bit pci card, so you can insert the card into the long white slot (3.5V) pcix1. Even though you can insert the card into the psie x16 (5V) slot too.

Follow cin19's advice - make sure the computer is turned OFF and unplugged from the wall outlet when you plug-in the PCI card.
