    First: uninstall the software; you do that after the card is in place. The easiest way to find the correct slot is to match the card shape to the slot shape. It will be the most common available slot on the motherboard. Press it in carefully but securely...then install the software.

    It also pays to unplug your machine and turn off the power supply with the switch that is on the power supply.

    Also, a PCI card is not a peripheral device, it allows peripherals to communicate with the computer...a monitor, keyboard, anything not inside the case is a peripheral.
