3 How to Install Accessories In Your PC

Installing Accessory Boards

7Secure the board by replacing the slot cover screw.

If you loosened the screws on adjacent slots, tighten them.

8If you install a VESA-standard video adapter board which uses the integrated video graphics controller, connect the accessory board’s cable to the VESA pass-through connector on the system board. To access the VESA pass-through connector, lift the power supply out of its seating, and lay it upside down on the frame above the disk drives. Remove the protection cover from the rear base of the PC.

NOTE

When the 1 MB video memory upgrade is installed on the integrated

 

video graphics controller, connecting a VESA-standard video adapter

 

board will disable this additional 1 MB of video memory and only the

 

first 1 MB of video memory will be used.
