4 Hardware and Software Installation
4. Unscrew or unfasten and remove any existing graphics card from the computer,
if necessary.
5. Locate the appropriate bus slot and, if necessary, remove the corresponding
metal backplate cover(s). Make sure all internal cables are clear of the slot.
Note: If you cannot find a bus slot to match the card, you need a graphics card
with the correct bus to match the motherboard.
6. Align the graphics card with the slot.
7. Make sure that all cables are moved out of the way and press the graphics card
firmly in the slot until it is fully seated.
8. Fasten the graphics card securely to the back panel.
9. If your card requires supplementary power and must be connected directly to
the power supply, locate the appropriate power connector cable(s) from the
power supply and connect it (or them) to the graphics card's power connector(s).
The location of power connections may vary between models. They can be
located on either the side or top of the card.
Tip: Before installing a card that requires a supplementary power connection,
make sure your existing power supply has the required power connectors
available.
10. If needed, install the second graphics card in the same manner as the first.
Note: Graphics cards must be separated by at least one empty expansion slot
for proper air flow.
