A PCI card is supplied with an edge connector which fits snugly into a PCI slot on the motherboard. Firm pressure is needed to ensure the card makes a good connection with the slot. There is also a metal plate along another edge of the card which allows the user to fix the card to the computer case with a screw. Before the card is inserted into the PCI slot the blank plate in the back of the case next to the slot must be removed. Most PCI cards provide connectors on the metal plate to allow external devices to be linked up to the computer; these might be display monitors, joysticks, audio connections etc.
