3Remove the computer cover.

If necessary, consult your computer’s manual for help in removing the cover.

WARNING - Remember to discharge your body’s static electricity by touching the power supply or the metal surface of the computer chassis.

4Unscrew or unfasten and remove any existing graphics card from your computer.

Note: If your computer has an on-board graphics capability, you may need to disable it on the motherboard. For more information, see your computer documentation.

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

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

7Screw in or fasten the graphics card securely. Make sure the cables are not interfering with anything inside the computer (for example, a cooling fan) and replace the computer cover.

8Reconnect any cables you have disconnected and plug in the computer’s power cord.

9Turn on the monitor, and then your computer.

Your computer will beep, possibly show a warning message on your display, and the boot process will stop if the graphics card is not correctly connected to the power supply.
