Install the Graphics Card

1Make sure the computer, monitor, and other peripheral devices are off.

2Unplug the computer power cord and disconnect cables from the back of the computer.

Caution! To avoid possible damage to the motherboard, wait approximately 20 seconds after unplugging the power cord before disconnecting a peripheral or removing a component from the motherboard.

3Remove the computer cover.

If necessary, consult the computer manual for help removing the cover.

Caution! To avoid possible damage to the computer components, discharge your body’s static electricity by touching the power supply case or the metal surface of the computer chassis.

4Remove any existing graphics cards from the computer.

Warning! Some graphics cards can get hot while operating. Wait about five minutes after turning off the computer before touching the card.

5Locate the appropriate slot for the graphics card and, if necessary, remove the metal back-plate cover.

Note: High-performance graphics cards require good airflow to prevent overheating. Ensure adequate airflow around the card.

6Align the graphics card with the slot and press it in firmly until the card is fully seated.

7Fasten the graphics card securely.

8Make sure the cables are not interfering with anything inside the computer (for example, a cooling fan) and then replace the computer cover.
