Removing the Installed Card
Important: Video cards are either accelerated graphics port (AGP) cards or peripheral component interconnect (PCI) cards. These cards fit into expansion slots located on the logic board.
The steps for replacing both types of cards are similar. However, AGP cards must be installed in slot 1 (Figure 2A), the shorter expansion slot, while PCI cards must be installed in the longer PCI expansion slots (Figure 2B).
1.Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the card’s mounting screw. (Figure 2C)
