Single Video Card Installation

1.Determine what type of expansion slot(s) the video card will use. Locate the expansion slot(s) on the motherboard. Remove any protective expansion slot covers from the computer case.

2.Line up the video card on top of the expansion slot(s) with the display ports facing out of the computer case. For a single video card installation, using the PCI_E2 slot is recommended.

3.Push the video card into its expansion slot(s). Depending on the expansion slot(s) used, there should be clip(s) on the expansion slot(s) that will lock in place.

4.If needed, screw the edge of the graphics card to the computer case. Some video cards might require a power cable directly from the power supply.

5.Please consult your video card’s manual for further instructions regarding driver installation or other special settings.
