Power Mac G4 Sawtooth 450 MHz, 512 MB RAM, running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.11 Sorry, another rather simple question that I couldn't find an answer to scouring the archives here.

Mechanically, physically, it looks simple enough. Install the card, hopefully with the jack for the Ethernet cable facing out and maybe even with the face plate removed, and then, if I can remember to to plug the Ethernet cable in there, I should be good to go.
