Installing the card in a modular computer

If your system has a separate monitor, like this one, continue with the steps below. If the monitor is built into your system, go back to the previous section, “Installing the Card in a Compact Computer.”

To install the video input card in a computer with a separate monitor, follow these steps:

1Press the Power key on the keyboard to shut down your computer.

You can also choose Shut Down from the Special menu.

2Unplug all the cables except the power cord from your computer.

Leaving the power cord plugged in until you’re ready to remove the logic board from the computer helps protect the computer from electrostatic discharge damage.

Important To avoid generating static electricity that may damage components, do not walk around the room until you have finished installing the card and closed the computer. Additionally, move the logic board as little as possible while it is outside the computer.
