Warning: When removing or installing a PCI or AGP card, handle it only by the edges. Do not touch its connectors or any of the components on the card. Lift the card straight out from the connector to remove it, and insert it straight into the connector to install it. Do not rock the card from side to side and don’t force the card into the slot. Once the replacement card is installed, pull on it gently to check that it is properly connected.
4.If you are removing an AGP card, pull back the small locking clip at the front of the AGP connector.
5.Holding the card by the top corners, gently pull up the card and remove it from its expansion slot.

Installing the Replacement AGP/PCI Card
1.Align the card’s connector with the expansion slot and press straight down on the top corners of the card until the connector is inserted all the way into the slot.
•Don’t rock the card from side to side; instead, press the card straight into the slot.
•Don’t force the card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the card out. Check the connector and the slot for damage or obstructions, then try inserting the card again.
•Pull the card gently to see if it is properly connected. If it resists and stays in place, and if its gold connectors are barely visible, the card is connected.
