Make sure the power requirements for the option cards you install do not exceed the power supply limitations. See your option card manual(s) for the power requirements. Then check Appendix A for the option slot power limits.

Refer to the illustrations below and follow these steps to install an option card:

1.If you are using a 16-bit option slot, go on to step 2. If you are using an S-bit slot near the power supply, you need to move the power supply before you can remove the metal slot cover.

Remove the screws securing the power supply to the computer, as shown below. Be careful not to disconnect any of the cables. Slide the power supply away from the option slots until you can remove the slot covers easily.
