HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Overview
Once you have determined that your system meets the
recommended minimum requirements, perform the following tasks
to install your new graphics card. Detailed installation instructions
are provided in the following sections.
If replacing an existing graphics card, uninstall the old graphics
driver and software before installing the new AMD Radeon™ RX
7900 XT graphics card.
NOTE: 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.
1. Turn off and disconnect your computer system from AC power.
2. If needed, remove any existing graphics card(s).
3. Install the new graphics card.
4. Reassemble and connect your computer system and display(s).
5. Start the computer system, install the AMD drivers and
configuration software.
6. Restart the computer system.
CAUTION:
Wait approximately 20 seconds after unplugging the
power cord before disconnecting a peripheral cable or
removing a component from the motherboard to avoid
possible damage to the motherboard.

Step-by-Step: Installing your
AMD Radeon™ Graphics Card
1. Turn off the computer, monitor(s) and other peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord, and then disconnect all cables
from the back of the computer.
3. Remove the cover to the computer's case.
4. Unscrew or unfasten and remove any existing graphics card from
the computer.
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.
6. Align the graphics card with the slot and press it in firmly until
the card is fully seated.
7. 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 supplementary power
connector(s).
8. Fasten the graphics card securely to the back panel.
9. Make sure no internal cables are interfering with components
inside the computer (for example, a cooling fan) and then replace
the computer cover.
10. Reconnect any cables you have disconnected during installation,
and then plug in the computer's power cord. Turn on the monitor,
and then the computer. If you have properly installed the graphics
card, the computer should start normally. Proceed to install
the software and drivers for your AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XT
graphics card.
