Hardware & Software Installation

Installation Overview

Once you have determined that your system meets the recommended minimum requirements, perform the
following tasks to install your new graphics card.
If replacing an existing graphics card, uninstall the old graphics driver and software before installing your new
AMD Radeon™ PRO W6000 series graphics card.
PRO TIP: If you are using a motherboard containing an on-board graphics solution and do not intend to
use it as part of a multiple monitor configuration, disable it.
Using an Optional Retention Bracket(s)
Your AMD Radeon™ PRO W6000 series graphics card may require a metal retention bracket(s). These are
designed to improve mechanical stability of the graphics card when installed in desktop workstations.
To install an extender bracket, attach it to the rear end of the graphics card using the four included screws.
NOTE: A retention bracket should only be attached to the graphics card if the system chassis is designed to
house retention brackets. Please contact AMD if you are unsure about whether a retention bracket should
be used.(See AMD Customer Care on Page 9.)
