Installing a Second DisplayPort Expansion Card

The computer is equipped with one DisplayPort on the rear panel. You can add a second DisplayPort by installing the DisplayPort expansion card into the DisplayPort expansion socket on the system board.

To install a DisplayPort expansion card:

1.Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.

2.Remove all removable media, such as optical discs or USB flash drives, from the computer.

3.Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices.

4.Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.

CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer.

5.If the computer is on a stand, remove the computer from the stand.

6.Remove the computer access panel.

7.Locate the correct vacant expansion socket on the system board and the corresponding expansion slot on the back of the computer chassis.

NOTE: You must install the DisplayPort expansion card into the socket specifically designated for it.
