Install Your New Board - S3 Graphics CHROME 400 Series User Manual

2.3 Install Your New Board

1. Turn the power off and unplug your system.
2. Remove your computer cover and locate the slot where you will insert your
new graphics card in a PCIe (PCI Express) slot (usually dark brown color).
For a dual PCIe slot system, a single graphics board is usually installed in the
slot closest to the CPU.
3. Remove any existing VGA card in the slot you want to use. If the slot was
empty, remove the bracket plate associated with the slot. You may need to
remove the screw which attaches the card or bracket to the case.
4. Ground yourself by touching the metal chassis on your computer before
handling your board.
5. Align your S3 Graphics board directly above the slot. Your board is designed
to fit only one way.
6. Insert your board firmly into the slot. Take care to press it evenly and snugly
into its slot. Do not force.
7. With the board securely in its slot, attach it to the computer frame with the
mechanism or screw you removed in Step 3.
8. Secure your computer cover.
