== Step Three -- Subsort according to slot type ==
 
 
'''Get someone to check your work so far''', and they will show you how to tell PCI and AGP slots from all the other types of card slots. Then you can use the charts below to sub-sort each of the five piles into a grand total of '''thirteen''' piles. (See the bold rectangles below each of the five main types to do your sub-sort.)

NOTE: Take the PCI network card pile and sub-sort it into two piles, those marked 100 or 1000 somewhere on the faceplate and those that are not. ''(Some network cards are marked both 10 and 100. These should be put in the "MARKED 100 or 1000" pile.)''
 
 
== Step Four -- Finish Up ==
 
See if it's correct. You should now have up to 13 piles:
 
 
# Video Cards, AGP
 
# Video Cards, PCI
 
# Video Cards, PCI-Express
 
# Video Cards, OTHER
 
# Modems, PCI
 
# Modems, OTHER
 
# Sound, PCI
 
# Sound, NON-PCI
 
# Network, PCI, marked 100 or 1000
 
# Network, PCI, NOT marked 100 or 1000
 
# Network, NON-PCI
 
# Wireless
 
# Miscellaneous, PCI or AGP
 
# Miscellaneous, Other
 
 
'''Have someone check your work''' and then put the cards in their boxes.  (Check the box contents as you go, since someone before you might have made a mistake!) ''The boxes are behind you, probably in the same order as above''
 
 
Thanks for helping us sort these cards!

Step One -- Familiarize Yourself with Connectors

First, get a box of cards to be sorted, pour them into a pile in the center of the table, and rummage through them, looking for these connector types:

Type Picture Clue
HD15 Hd15port.png three rows of holes
DVI Dvi.png lots of little square holes
RJ11 Rj11port.png like for a phone
RJ45 Rj45port.png bigger than an RJ11
Sound Ports Soundports.png little and round, don't stick out, may be 2, 3, 4, or 5
Antenna Connector SMA.jpg much smaller than a F connector (connector for a cable TV)

NOTE: You're not sorting yet, just learning the different connector types.

There will be other connector types, but the above ones are all you need to pay attention to in order to complete this job.

Step Two -- The Basic Sort

Pick up each card and using the following chart, put each card in one of six piles (video, sound, modem, network, wireless, and miscellaneous.)

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.
